"I'm Fine"


"Hey, are you okay?"

No. I'm not.

I don't want to finish out the day.

I want to cry.

What if I told you

The reason why?

I need a hug, someone to care.

But you won't even listen, 

So why would I dare

Tell you how I feel.

Because what if you tell me

None of its real?

I dont know how to save my heart

If you push me away.

And because of this,

I'll only say.

One. Single. Line.

"I'm fine."
