Pretend

Some people are always breaking in the inside. They are the ones who look happy to us.

I am not okay even though I look like
What if I tell you I am just pretending
Even when I am dying inside?
It is just signals that I am sending
I may look happy or funny on the outside
But then they say not to judge a book
By the way it looks on the outside
And such messages are transcended by my looks
So come close to me and ask me things
Maybe about my health or my mind
And then I'll tell you oceans of sorrows
And my despair you will find.

Constructive criticism is always appreciated

You have expressed your feelings very well. I liked the entire poem. 'But then they say not to judge a book
By the way it looks on the outside' These lines are my favourite. It is so strange when people believe you when you say that you are okay sometimes we also need to open up and say that we are not.
