Can I say I'm not okay?

Can I say I'm not okay?
Is it not the way
one is supposed to sway
Steeped in sin
Bruises formed within
How do you win?

Can I say I'm not okay?
Will my grieves see the light of day
Silent cries
Empty lies
Soon another dies

Can I say I'm not okay?
How long do you expect me to stay
Blur and innocent
Airily reticent
Have I not learnt?

Can I say I'm not okay?
Why do I worry about "they"
No release
Just appease
Lest' you be tease
