Analysis of How can i



How can i express how I feel,
if I feel nothing,
yea i'm okay,
more like turn into  a million obstacles,
no matter what choice I make,
its always the wrong choice,

yes I'm laughing and playing with everyone else,
but that's just the hurt,
i'm too afraid to show,
too afraid to act on,
im okay tho,
right?

How are you,
is a question that's too hard,
for most people to answer,
if they do,
we all know thats a lie,
so why ignore it,

HEY,
HOW ARE YOU,
I'm okay,
U sure?
Yea I'm fine,

than here's goes another painful cycle,
too torn to speak up and too torn for anyone to notice,
How broken we are inside.
