Almost Okay

by *Charisma*   Jan 5, 2007


My eyes weigh heavy
My heart's a little torn
Thoughts a bit jumbled
As I sink past forlorn

I'm covered in dust
From my fall to the ground
I feel all alone
As if no one's around

Sleep has escaped me
And I'm wide awake
Left to remember
My biggest mistake

Old pictures haunt me
And the void in my soul
Just to remind me
I'm so full of holes

Time barely moves
Like the hands stand still
To drain my strength
Show my lack of will

But if you were to ask
How I'm doing today
I'd be forced to lie,
"I'm almost okay."
