How Are You

When I asked you how are you 
I'm not talking about how you do 
I'm talking about the real you
 the inside part that makes you you
 when I ask you how are you
 I'm not talking about your day
 I'm talking about the emotional things
 that touch you in special ways 
when I asked you how are you
 I mean your core being 
the things that keep you going
Without anyone ever seeing
When I asked you how are you
 please trust to tell me the truth
Trust that I really care to listen
Don't disregard my question
But pour out everything that you have inside
You knowThat part you care to hide
 from the world
 with your man pride
When I asked you how are you
Don't dilute it  with I'm good 
but tell me the truth
