im okay. on the stage i’m okay beneath the spotlights i’m okay but in my darkest moments when the camera turns off i’m not they’re just lines from a script i memorised rehearsed till perfection rehearsed till you can’t find the flaws i’m really not okay backstage i’m a mess i’m broken and shattered and exhausted but when i get on the stage i’m okay i have to be okay i have to play my part i have to say my lines the spotlight is on i’m centre stage remember your words: don’t worry im okay
