I'm fine

I'm fine, no really
I've pushed away all that I'm feeling
So that nothing remains for you to question.
Because I can't deal with anything within.

I tried to tell you.
But you didn't have any clue.
I'm scared, she's faking
I'm panicking, attention taking
Cutting to feel, Bragging for attention
But how I really feel I never mentioned.

I smile, I laugh.
It's all just a mask
A lie that's become me.
But I know you'll never see.
Because a simple I'm fine is all you need.
To dismiss anything.
As long as she seems happy.

The truth is something I can't take
Breaking down, giving in to hate.
I can't hurt anyone.
If they don't know what's going on.
So I keep it all in
Laughing but dying within.

My mask is perfect.
You'd never know.
Until I suddenly disappeared, in a wisp of smoke.
But for now I'm surviving
Hanging by a thread.

It's funny how easily convinced you are.
And how far
A simple I'm fine.
Can truly go.
