Fine, Just Fine

You’re fine That special line you tell yourself Each and everyday Everything is great you say When reality tries to take you away You put on a show For all those around You don’t let anyone know That the only real lie you tell Is I’m fine Those thoughts you confine Grow grow and grow And you try but there is nothing you can do about it Eventually They’ll consume you Bit by bit While you sit alone Crying yourself to sleep Hoping you’ll never wake up And when you’re gone Everyone will see That when you said I’m fine You really meant “help me” ~ 3/1/2018
