How are you?

Me? Oh, im fine. The man I thought loved didn't speak to me for 2 months and when he finally did he says he found someone new, someone who isn't a waste. But I'm fine.

My mother is in pain constantly because of an accident 4 years ago and my family suffers from it still. But I'm fine.

My friends can't know everything that happens or they will leave.. or worse.. they will tell. But I'm fine.

My body looks terrible no matter what I do and I lose respect for myself every day. But I'm fine.

I cry in a corner of my room where no one hears me most nights because i don't have arms to cry in. But I'm fine.

The fake smiles are finally getting to me and I've reached my breaking point. But I'm fine.

Maybe if I say it enough I will believe it. Or maybe the lie will come out when I take my last breath, but until then, How am I you ask? Well I am fine.
