Promises

Keep asking

if I'm alright,

if I'm feeling well.

Don't worry,

I'm not okay.

I promise. 

Can't you tell?

If I was really okay,

the fact

of the matter is,

you wouldn't have to ask,

much less wonder.

I'm not okay.

I'm not myself.

I'm not hungry.

I'm not anxious.

I'm not retarded.

I don't know what I am.

I'm not okay.

I promise.

Author's Note

The fact of the matter is, if I was really okay, you wouldn't have to wonder.
