Are you OK?
Are you OK?
Nobody knows
Too many feelings
I didn't want to show
You seem different
Than you were before
Like another person
Just walked through the door
Wide eyes
Wild stare
Looking far away
For something that's not there
Gotta make myself
Put on a show
Play that character
Everyone knows
Which is the real me
I wish I knew
I'm one whole person
Divided into
Am I OK?
I don't know
Two personalities battle
But which is the foe

Too many feelings - yes - there’s nothing quite as humbling as the experience of stumbling across a particularly poignant fabric softener commercial, featuring some small children and maybe a teddy or two, and being moved to heaving sobs.

Excellent. We're all pretty much in the same boat, different persons all in one, depending on ''XYZ''

Yeah, everyone has their own struggles. The key is dealing with it and still living life.

Are we ever really okay?
Any of us? 😔
I know this feeling all too well, especially recently.
Thank you so much for putting this out there.
It is a great read to remind the reader that we are all human, and though it may seem impossible...many others truly feel the same.

A question that everyone only expect one answer "yes"...this is a very deep poem due to the fact that we all battle with two personalities everyday...who you really are and who people wants us to be

It’s such a common question yet rarely honestly asked or answered. I like your take on it.
