ARE YOU OK?

"Are you ok?" asked someone ... Shaking my head I said, "never been better"... Was it true? Probably not... Oh, I wish I could tell you that I am not ok, that I am not fine, that I need you by my side... But well I fear you may never understand me and maybe even leave me... you will perhaps feel that my problems are petty but you will never know how much I cried that night... How much I wished the earth would swallow me and I didn't have to deal with it... I wish that I could be brave enough to tell you that day, " I am not fine, I need you by my side."
