I’M FINE

 

“Im fine,” - I say it all the time.

 

“I’m fine,” - a small phrase,

 

 

But the biggest lie.

 

 

“I’m fine,” - maybe, in due time.

 

“I’m fine,” - I said with shame,

 

 

As if it were a crime.

 

 

“I’m fine,”  - I’ll say it ‘till I die.

 

“I’m fine,” - a false phrase,

 

 

A simple warning sign.

 

 

“I’m fine,” - I say, so I don’t cry.

 

"I’m fine,” - said so lamely.

 

 

I no longer wish to try,

 

 

To play this game,

 

 

To lie each day,

 

 

To act as if I’m fine.
