DarkPoetry -|- Dysphoria -|- I'm -always- okay

I'm -always- okay

bleeding syllables
drip

from my lips

and they tell me

I'm going to be okay

heart-stitches
rip

fading.pulse

the stars seem to cry with me

when I mouth the empty words

you want to hear

-I'm always okay-

drink until I cant breathe
slurred words

escape my mouth
and I tell them all lies

hollow smiles grace my face

as once again

I tell them
.im.always.fine

.
.
.

how many ways
do I have to rip myself open

to show you that this time

I'm.not.going.to.be.okay.

I'm always fine too. But we're all okay, eventually. Beautiful write... I absolutely love unique structures, I think yours adds so much to the well thought out words.
