I'm fine,
ignore the tear stained face
and the watery eyes,
I'm fine.
I'm fine,
the marks that I leave upon my soul
have been there for years,
I'm fine.
I'm fine,
overlook the words I write
in these poetic patterns,
I'm fine.
I'm fine,
look past the struggle which I carry
between the possibility of freedom from the darkness
and the effort of breathing,
I'm fine.
I'm fine,
keep your pity to yourself,
I don't want to hurt you with my conflicts,
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I'm f*cking fine.
Everyone doesn't need to know
the words written on my heart.
Everyone doesn't need to know
why I cry in the dark.
Everyone doesn't need to know.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Even when I am not.
