The Covert Narcissism Podcast With Covert Narcissism, I Am NOT Okay.
Listening to some music the other day, a song came on that really spoke to me. It was by Jelly Roll and titled “I Am Not Okay.” I can’t speak for Jelly Roll, but as a victim of covert narcissism, these lyrics could not have been more fitting.
I am not okay
I'm barely getting by
I'm losing track of days
I'm losing sleep at night
I am not okay
I'm hanging on the rails
So if I say I'm fine just know I learned to hide it well.
I know I can't be the only one who's holding on for dear life
But I know God knows when it's all said and done
I'm not okay, but it's all gonna be alright
It's not okay, but we're all gonna be alright.
I woke up today
I almost stayed in bed
I had the devil on my back voices in my head
Some days it all ain't bad
Some days it all gets worse
Some days I swear I'm better off laying in the dirt.
~ Song lyrics from "I Am Not Okay," by Jelly Roll
