Another Perspective
“Are U Okay?”
Sorry, you don’t need that
The fact that I’ve just realized
For you,
It is only a certain word
For you,
It doesn’t mean anything
For you,
It never solve anything
It is not always sign of care
But for me,
It takes much effort to ask
It takes much courage to spell it
And for me,
Those words are magic
It heals me, even only a little
It makes my pain relieved
It sign of someone— concern about your condition
Maybe only a little thing but it can make me smile bigger
It warms me whenever I get sad
It hug me when arms cannot
It touches my heart
And I hope someone who gets closer to me…
Can ask me those question
When they know I’m not at my best
I put my hope in you
But, in my leisure time
I just try to…. just do a little count,
How much time you asked me if I’m okay
Then the result….
“4:30”
You only ask me if I’m okay 4 times when I have asked you…30 times
It hurts me for a little time
But I don’t tell you how much it hurts
I just…let it go
Let it slide like it doesn’t affect me so much
But the truth… you can conclude it by yourself
I just wonder why you don’t ask me so much
Oh,…..maybe because I always look okay in front of you
I conclude that explanation
But now I know
“Are You Okay?” — doesn’t mean anything to you
It just a concern word that cannot do something
It doesn’t bring happiness to a sad person
It doesn’t help anything
That’s why you rarely ask me something like that
And I just decide…to stop to ask “Are You Okay?”
Because you don’t need that question
And it will not affect you so much
Even I put a lot of care in it.
Also, there is no respect from you
When I do that.
