I’m...

I'm fine-

Maybe if I say it enough times it'll be true-

But until then I'd like to avoid any of the lies and excuses I'd tell you-

Honestly I'm fine-

I'm used to what I've been through-

No I don't need to talk or cry through all my issues with you-

I'm fine please stop asking-

I'd hate to lay all my burdens down and have them crush you too-

STOP! I'm fine!

I know you care-

And it's not that I don't trust you-

Sometimes I'd like to go through life solving my own problems without you-

I'm...

I'm tired of your questions-

I'm tired of lying to you-

But I know it will hurt you more if I told you the truth-

Ever heard that expression-

"I'm ok, but not ok" -

Thats what I've been trying to say-

Even though I'm going through hell right now-

I still get up everyday and walk in my own shoes-

So until the day Death carries me away-

I'm fine.
