I'm Fine - A Charlotte Poem

I'm fine.

That's my problem,

I get too caught up in my thoughts I never stop.

I never stop just for a moment and think...

Would they stop and listen if I told them the truth?

But the truth is I've become so numb to what I feel

That everything is normal to me,

I don't know how to not feel this...

To not feel what is 'fine' to me

I've become so numb to different emotions

That my natural response when someone asks how I'm doing,

Is to simply say 'I'm fine'

Because the truth is,

In a world full of wars and hunger and disarray,

My problems aren't a problem anymore,

They're not important enough to be a problem

They're not big enough to be a problem.

So I'm fine.
