I'M FINE

eyes wandering—crying
swelling...tearing
soul's awaking
happiness seeking
foreseeing—
my being.
standing, shaking
hand's plucking
body's trembling
i'm fine, not lying.
heart writhing
emptiness holding
aching, breaking
memories fading
listening, reading
head aching—screaming
laying, sobbing
freely exchanging
tears flowing
i'm fine, not lying.
mind over thinking
aching, ticking
wounds...unfolding
skimming—scanning
firmly fighting,
not doing.
ceiling—staring
voice shaking
eavesdropping
i'm fine, not lying.
wine drinking...yelling.
silently writing
someone blaming
flaws they're seeing.
keeping, striving
seldom sacrificing.
self seeing
thinking, imagining
my self...dying
i'm fine, not lying.
eyes wandering—crying
heart writhing
mind overthinking
starting tiring
dreams hanging
happiness seeking
tired waiting
amnesia—wishing
memories forgeting
i'm fine, not lying.
