I'm fine

Every night he looks at me
And I wonder what it would be-
Like to really be good enough
Just for once
Just for once
I keep repeating those untruthful words
'I'm fine'
'I'm fine'
'Just tired'
'I swear'
And they believe
They believe because they don't-
Want to know how I am failing
At life, at school, at everything
And especially how he keeps looking
Luring
Watching
Just to catch me in the moment
That I give up
And have enough
But I swear I'm fine
I don't need him as an option-
Just to get away from the destruction-
Of life and pressure
Of nothing in particular
'I'm fine'
'I'm fine'
'I swear I'm fine'
