I'm Not Okay (I Promise) [ACROSTIC]

I've been asked
Many times what goes on in my mind.

Never do the people stop to listen
Or wait for the answer they seek -
They just walk away.

Obviously they are not ready to
Know the answer,
And yet in their eyes the
Yearning to know shines through.

(I'm not okay I

Promise.
Realising this
Only makes you like
Me less, but
I don't care.Soon the
End will come for me, as one day it will for you...

[An owl on the moon]

You are truly a master of the acrostic, Josie, making the most insightful, emotional power come through your words. You take the form and fill it with the depth of your soul, rather than just cute rhymes or awkward lines. Oh, and just so you know, I'm listening... I will always listen to your heart if you ever need me to...
