The Lies Behind Your Eyes

On the outside,
you're smiling,
because you tried,
to hide it,

but I can see behind your lies,
I can hear your cries,

when I ask if you're okay,
you say you're fine,
but I know you're really not okay,
because there's a fine line,
between 'okay',
and struggling to find a reason to keep breathing,

I know you try to hide it,
because I know that feeling all too well,
trying hard not to quit,
this living hell,

I want you to know,
that it's okay,
to not be okay,

I'll be here for you,
no matter what,
though my friends may not be in few,
I will never leave you behind,

it you're struggling to catch up,
and you think you've had enough,

I'll be waiting,
with open arms,
to tell you that being alive is great,
if you just give it a chance
