"I'm fine"
But I lied, because I'm dying inside.
Not quite sure how to feel.
And feeling it all.
Somehow you can see right through me
Then telling me I'm not fine.
I hate when you say that.
I know you're right but I can't.
Can't admit you're right.
Can't let someone in.
Can't show I'm not that strong.
It's annoying, even though I appreciate it
I appreciate someone seeing it too
Thank you for being someone
who sees my worst and forces me
to talk it all out.
It's fine if I'm angry
because somehow you understand.
"I'm fine okay?"
"No you're not."
And then I break down
And your arms instantly reach out
For me to hold on while I doubt.
