Dropping the Act

            “I’m NOT okay!”—thus all my being cries;
Yet from some social duty, I would hide
My rash reactions, and I would disguise
My inconformities with masks of pride.

I’m NOT okay! Why should I feign to be?
Confined, imprisoned, no escape I find—
No place to go, from observation free,
To sort through all the turmoil in my mind.

I’m NOT okay! Nor shall I be in fact
Until I find release—to cry, to shout;
Lest I explode, I need to drop the act
And siphon all this soulish venom out.
__May cleansing, grace, and peace be mine, I pray,
__As I at last confess, “I’m NOT okay!”
