Ask me how I am doing⁠
And I'll say⁠
Sometimes I wish the ground ⁠
will swallow you whole⁠
For coming up with ⁠
a question that stupid⁠
Some days I'll want to show you ⁠
my unmade bed⁠
And ask if those are signs ⁠
of a person who is doing okay⁠
But today I'll just smile⁠
And say⁠
I'm okay, just a little tired⁠
How are you?⁠
Let me take your burdens too⁠
Sleep evades me at night ⁠
and someday I fall short ⁠
of my own problems to solve⁠
I've already established ⁠
world peace in my head⁠
I've figured the mystery ⁠
behind cryptocurrency⁠
But I'm yet to silence⁠
the storm in my head⁠
You can say I look great⁠
But you don't understand ⁠
my exhaustion⁠

If mental illnesses were ⁠externally visible⁠
You wouldn't have to ask⁠
How I'm doing⁠
You'd know.⁠
