poetry of the confused soul

I'm Fine

It's nothing.

I'm okay.

You see me smiling,

So there's nothing else to say.

You walk away and talk to your friends,

That's when the smile starts to fade.

I'm not okay.

I'm not fine.

I want to tell you,

But I can't make up my mind.

I don't know what's wrong.

The world's just not kind.

It made me lose myself

And everything I am.

Maybe I need some help,

But I don't think I can.

I don't believe I deserve it all.

Again and again, I always fall.

I'll say I'm okay,

And stop our chat.

Now I'll go away

And leave it at that.
