    IN BED I SEE THE SUN RISE AND SHINE
BUT I CALL THE DARKNESS MINE
HOW AM I?
I'M FINE.
  

I HAVE A BANDAGED WRIST
ROPE MARKS AND SIGNS OF A NECK TWIST
HOW AM I?
I'M FINE.
   

THEY BROUGHT ME INTO THIS WORLD.
WARM EMBRACE AND HEART THAT I MISSED WHEN THE TEMPERATURE TURNED COLD
HOW AM I?
I'M FINE
   

WHO ALLOWED THEM TO WALK TO THE NEXT DOOR WITHOUT ME?
THEY TOLD ME THEY LOVE ME AND WENT. DID THEY KNOW THEY WOULD GO TO A PLACE I WOULD NOT SEE?
HOW AM I?
I'M FINE
   

LIARS I CALLED THEM. LOVERS I CALLED THEM.
BUT WHERE THEY REMAINED AT THE END OF MY LIFE, IT REMAINED THE SAME.
HOW AM I?
I'M FINE
   

FROM WINDOWS I SCREAMED
AT DOORS I WAITED FOR SOMETHING BECAUSE OF WHICH I WAS DEVASTATED.
HOW AM I?
I'M FINE.
    

PEOPLE, HE SAID THAT HE LIKES TO SEE ME SMILE
BLINDFOLDING ME, SHAPED ME IN HIS STYLE
HOW AM I?
I'M FINE.
     

HE LIED, DIDNT HE?
HE WANTED HER NOT ME.
HOW AM I?
I'M FINE.
      

HE WANTED THE GIRL WHO I LIKED THE MOST AFTER MY BEARERS.
I HATED ANYONE WHO WANTED, HATED SHARERS.
BUT HIM? I LOVED HIM MORE THAN ANYONE.
HE BETRAYED ME LIKE I'M NO ONE.
HOW AM I?
I'M FINE.
     

ALL SHOULDERS THAT I COULD CRY ON, GONE.
ALL THE STARS ARE NOW DARK THAT ONCE DOWN TO ME, SHONE.
HOW AM I?
I'M FINE.
     

NO ONE NOTICED WHEN I DISAPPEARED
IT WAS LIKE I WAS A WHOOSH OF WIND NO ONE REMEMBERED
HOW AM I?
I'M FINE.
    

I KNEW WHAT I HAD IN MIND, GIVING UP.
ALL THE VOICES IN MY MIND SHUTTED UP.
HOW AM I?
I'M FINE.
    

  I FIND MYSELF WAKING TOWARDS THE GRAVE
NO ONE TO TELL ME TO BE STRONG, TO BE BRAVE.
HOW AM I?
I'M FINE.
      

YOU LOOK AT MY PHOTO WHERE I'M SMILING AND TOUCH MY STONE.
AND ASK HOW I AM?
HOW AM I?
YOU WANT ME TO REPEAT? I'M FINE!
      
HOW AM I?
I'M DEVASTATED, BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR, ALONE AND.... DEAD.

Guys let us all get it... When someone says I'm fine but don't really mean it.
Love and alllllll r1thawani
