I Am Not Okay

hip-hopplayful

[Verse]
Started my day, bowl o' Froot Loops, though I missed the milk,
Feeling down, deeper than a sunken ship, heart made of silk,
Couch potato vibes, binge-watchin' those teary soaps,
Life a sitcom, but missing all those laugh tracks and dope hopes.

[Verse 2]
Phone on silent, social media ghost, I'm off the grid,
Friends be asking where I been, tell 'em nowhere, hid,
Pizza box castles in my room, throne of crumpled dreams,
Reality a faded Polaroid, ain't as fresh as it seems.

[Chorus]
I am not okay, world turned to shades of gray,
Main character, but lost my script, wandering astray,
Fighting dragons in my mind, armor about to fray,
Repeating "I'm fine," though inside, worlds decay.

[Verse 3]
Mirror shows a stranger, someone lost in a crowd,
Waves of sorrow crashing, thunderous and loud,
Trying to remix the blues, autotune my internal song,
But the beats off, harmony’s gone, everything feels wrong.

[Verse 4]
Bookmarked feelings on pages I can't un-read,
Heartstrings tangle into knots that constantly bleed,
Dreams in a blender, aspirations pureed,
Runnin' on empty, hopes steadily curbed.

[Bridge]
But there's a spark, a flicker, igniting a drive,
Even in dark, shadows can't fully survive,
Gritty punchlines and smile fakin' it till I thrive,
Rhyme after rhyme, battle just to feel alive.
