Fine


When someone asks me "Are you okay?" 

I say "I'm fine." With a smile on my face. 

But does fine really mean fine? Or does fine mean

Broken, scared,useless,alone,clueless,confused,

betrayed,fragile,On the verge of tears,depressed,

Anxious, about to brake down. People don't understand.

I wish the next person who asked me if I was okay

and I said I was fine would look me in the eyes and say 

I know your not fine.
