Not OK

After an especially difficult day, where I repeatedly felt as if I was a disappointment to everyone whom I had interacted, I composed this song.

Please excuse the poor quality of the audio in places, I do no have a professional microphone, and it was difficult to get it to record anything, much less be able to get the audio clear enough to be heard over the music I composed to go with it.

I present: Not OK

That said, if you don't have the ability to make out words of the song, that's why I have this handy lyric sheet located below:

No, it’s not gonna be alright, but who says it has to be? And is that so?
And oh, that’s not me tonight, how am I supposed to be ok… when I’m falling behind~
I’ve been tryin’ oh so hard, but still I fall.
Once again I try to think of it all.
But still my head keeps swimmin, no matter what I do I just can’t seem to win,
And so I stand alone.
Oh, why does li-ife seem this way?
Caught up in all the things I do every day.
But nothing that I try, ever heals that pain inside
Can someone save me, save my soul, I don’t know; so I’m
Trying to get by, but I cannot seem to quell my
Fears that I shall stay this way, just keep on going
So, please someone won’t you tell me,
Just what I’m supposed to be?
Cause here I stand,
Please take my hand!
Cause I don’t know
Cause I can’t see
Cause I can’t feel
What am I to do, and is this real?
Oh, so, no. I’m not ok, who says I have to be?
Maybe it’s just better this way.
And no, maybe I’m not alone, or maybe it is the truth
That when I’m here, I can’t be seen by you.
I sit on the edge of this empty ledge,
Looking over into the deep, won’t someone stay with me?
