I'm Fine

by ImTheGirl   Apr 26, 2018


“How are you?”
…In my mind I screamed, I’m tired, worried, and I’m strained.
I’m barely keeping it together,
I’m hurt and filled with pain

I’m weak, I’m overwhelmed
I can’t seem to get it right
I barely recognize myself
I haven’t slept in many nights

I’m unfocused, I’m losing my way
I’m silently crying in my bed
I’m fighting the demons for a better life
The ones that live in my head

I’m grasping …looking to the heavens
For any, some sort of sign
But I quickly erase all those thoughts,
Just to say, “I’m fine”

    At times no matter how much we try to explain no one seems to
    understand or grasp and they will leave with a line..oh it will be fine!
    So its easier to say "I'm fine"...I feel and understand the desperation
    take care ~

    Sometimes it's easier to say you are fine then attempt to tell someone how you are really feeling. You really did an awesome write with this. No one ever really knows the turmoil we might have inside.

    I recognise this human condition. Hiw many times do we say, "I'm fine" when our minds bodies and souls are hanging in tatters.

    It's just easier that admitting we are broken.

    Keep writing, your words will mend the tears. X
