AWAKENED WORDS - I am not Okay Lyrics

I'm trapped in the silence where shadows come to play
Every breath I take feels heavier each day.
Why do I feel like this? I can't find the reason why
In a crowded room, I'm still alone inside.
I am not okay, can you hear my silent scream?
Just listen, don't speak, let me feel like I'm seen.
I don't need solutions, just the warmth of your gaze
A place where my pain doesn't have to be explained.
I wear a smile like a mask to hide my storm within
But inside, I'm unraveling, too tired to pretend.
It's exhausting to act like everything's alright
When my soul's crying out in the quiet of the night.
A hug, a smile, a moment in the light
To feel I still belong, to know I'm in someone's sight.
Accept my sadness without trying to repair
Sometimes your presence is the answer to my prayer.
I am not okay, but in your eyes, I see light
A chance to breathe again, to fight the endless night.
In your listening, I find the strength to endure
And feel that in this world, there's room for something pure.
Together, hand in hand, with hearts wide open to see
In our shared vulnerability lies the strength to be free.
Let every act of kindness light someone's way
And remind them no one has to face their pain alone today.
