You ask if I'm ok
You ask this day to day
And everytime I answer
You just get further ahead
Because what can I do
I can't turn to you
Your my friend
You will be there
But this is pain
I can not share
This hurt that comes from deep within
Feeds off all my insecurities
Feeds off my pain
Feeds off my fears
Feeds off a broken girl
Thats been left in tears
Am I fat
Am I ugly
Am I stupid
Was I wrong
Am I ment to be alone
Am I supposed to say so long
Theres something on the inside
Leading me into hell
My dreams are haunted by memories
I sleep with ghosts in bed
My waking hours filled with dread
So I live in my head
What am I supposed to do
I need to talk
But words just float away
Kitten, Stina, Chandra, Smash
You ask if I'm ok
I smile, say yes, and so you walk away...
Please don't listen to what I say
Sit me down
Make me talk
Don't let me faed away
I have your answers
But I need you to stay
To look me in the eye
I need to know it will be ok
I have your answers
Now I need mine

As I look at this world and realize that I am the only one to have seen the end of all Good I let the tears out that and ask the world to see them.

Your poem is very touching, and I’m sure many people can relate to the feelings expressed here.
I guess it’s because we don’t want to show our “imperfections” to the world, so, when asked “how are you?”, the mask comes on, and the pretending comes out.  
Our insecurities can become such a burden, and we wonder if anyone else feels
as we do?   Writing about that internal chaos can be a help, and so can knowing you are not alone.

Its very brave to write saying that you need them to stop and actually listen.

Very nicely written.

Is this about that girl you wrote about a few months ago?  I'm willing to bet she knows what your answers are, but she also knows that if she doesn't give you answers it will make you weak to her.  A form of control.  The reason my ex-fiancee is my EX-fiancee.  But that is cool that you posted this here.  Its awesome.  Its like you can actually see the battle going on in your head.  You'll be fine.
