Everything is Wonderful

We tell people we are fine

That nothing bothers us

We tell them that nothing hurt us

That nothing ever will.

But that is what everyone says

The only acceptable answer.

We can never really know if they are.

But okay is the only think you can.

I can't say anything else

So I say what I can

And I hope that no one can tell

That it isn't true.

I wish I could say

what I really feel.

But I can't

I just can't

I wish I could say that I was angry

That I wanted to do the unbelievable.

That I wanted to do something awfully

unpredictable.

I want to stop speaking in lies

I want to stop murdering my own soul.

I want to make sure they are fine.

But how can I.

"How are you?"

"I'm okay."
