Im Fine

I sit down and its on my mind,
I take a deep breath but all i see is red,
Close my eyes and i can feel its edge,
The marks it leaves behind are now scars I try to hide,
The feeling of it across my skin and red begins to drip,
More and more I want to make,
but deepr with each passing,
Breathes I take but tears i wont let fall,
In pain I am and it's hard to just be okay, 
So ill just say im fine.

A raw and deeply emotional poem. The contrast between the pain being carried inside and the simple words “I’m fine” at the end makes this especially powerful.
