Thank You For Asking. Now Do Me A Favor And Tell ME If YOU’RE Okay

Thank you for asking

Nobody ever does

They've all just assumed

That this is my normal face

That the somber mood radiating from me

Is just the normal me

I guess I can't blame them

It's been this way for awhile…

But wouldn't it be great

If when someone /did/ ask

People wouldn't jump in and say

"He's always like this"

So maybe

Just maybe

I can actually tell someone I'm hurting?
