Challenge
According to a 2017 study done by me, stardustfalling (PhD in imagination, depression, and depressing poetry), "I'm fine" is the most commonly told lie in the world. Write about it, in any format you choose.
If We Keep Saying This
We all know what it is.
The singularity of all pleasantries.
I'm fine.
No.
Listen.
If we keep saying this,
We're ruined.
The power of complacency,
Here.
Nurtured in repetition,
These words
I'm fine,
Have unbelievable capabilities.
You see, if
We keep saying this,
There will be no
Second chance.
That is, once
We convince ourselves it's true.
