DON'T ASK ME

Don't ask me if I'm ok
Because I know you don't want to hear
Don't smile and pretend to care
If you can't face my doubts and fear
Just say you're thinking of me
Just tell me you are there
Let me know I'm not alone
Offer up a simple prayer
If I open my heart and show you my soul
Will you stand beside me in the night
Give me a shoulder to lean on
Or will you give in to your own fright
If you don't have the courage
To really hear what I need to say
Just go on with your life
And don't ask if I'm ok
