I'm Not Fine
People ask if I’m okay,
“I’m fine.”
I say it but it really means
“I’ve fallen apart.”
People ask me how I’m doing,
“Good.”
I say it but it really means
“I’m lost.”
People ask if I’ve moved on from The Charmer
“Of course.”
I say it but it really means
“There’s a hole in my heart where she used to be.”
People ask if I’ve moved on from my Bright Star
“I’m getting there.”
I say it but it really means
“She’s always on my mind.”
People tell me it gets better
“I know.”
I say it but it really means
“The pain never ends.”
People ask me how I’m feeling
“Better.”
I say it but it really means
“It gets worse every day.”

I am a high school student at a small school, I've been through a lot so far throughout my life, but there are three things that I normally write about: I write about the depression that I battle every day and often lose to, and I write about the two women that I've fallen in love with, both of which left, and I'm never going to see either one again. If you like my writings, please e-mail me at [email protected]. It helps to know when people enjoy or relate to the things that I write.
