It's okay

I used to be so sugar sweet
For such a long, long time indeed
Always smiling, always happy
Kindness flourished, nothing crappy
And suddenly I don't know how
A voice inside that told me - Now,
Look around and do you see
How dark all things have come to be?
No, please listen, I'm not bad,
I'm not mental, I'm not mad!
Please look at me, beyond my eyes
A shattered soul never lies
Beyond my smile, beyond it all
Pain, sadness, anger have their call
The bloody battle deep within
Makes living life a crucial sin
Bullet words escape my lips
A word that hurts, a word that slips
I hate the way how badness bends
I hate the way I hurt my friends
But the troubled pain that hides inside
Has carried me and the world apart
Silver sun is faded, gone
No love, no goodness, nothing, none!
I'm quiet, yes, but look I scream!
My eyes are wide; this dreadful dream -
A happy face can also cry
Though smiles are flashing, eyes are dry
The secret pain that's born and bred
Has torn my soul, I'm almost dead
I want to tell, just spit it out,
Just tell the world, just scream, just shout!
But no matter how hard I think,
No words would tell, and so I sink
Deeper, deeper down this well
So lost and helpless; living hell
And so I know the only cure,
The remedy that'd work for sure
A smile, a moment, a tiny shrug
Two people closer, and a hug
The timeless whisper in my ear
The simple words I've longed to hear
Life is hard, yet you would say:
The soothing words of "it's okay"

It's okay.
