its "ok"

this was my first poem..

I lied.
I'm not ok ,
not all the time .
I thought if I keep a straight face I'd be fine,
And that my happiness wouldn't be all just a lie.

That the smiles That I fake, may one day be real,
That the joy that I adore, may once adorn my face.

I realize now, After all this while,
Everyone lies at times in their lives.
Everyone is not fine at all times,
And it's ok to not be ok for a while .

this aint lying but truth is you need to lie at times for survival n to get away with things. you have good poetic expression. Believe in masks, believe in beauty of human nature bestowed by God n yes, everything is ok then
