im not

I swear im just fine. I think

im not depressed im just not ok

im not lonely I just have no one to love

I don't envy her I envy the way he looks at her

im not immature I just still laugh at dirty jokes

im not in pain im just hurting

im not lost I just don't know the way

im not sad because he hurt me im just staying up all night thinking of him

im not crying im just slowly deteriorating

I don't need self help books I need someone to understand my pain.

im having faith but I just don't know who I can trust

im not falling apart im just breaking slowly.
