Analysis of Am I ok
Lita Frost 2007 (Ohio)
I smile on the outside
Yet I feel as if i am
dejected from society
Am I ok?
I may be laughing
on the outside but
Im crying on the inside
Am I ok?
I make it seem
as if i'm happy
But i'm not
But no matter how hard i try
Am I ok?
As I looked in the mirror
Holding back my sorrows
And preventing them from taking over…
I’m not ok
