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.
I’m Fine
I'm fine.
A lie. Innocuous.
A weak platitude maybe.
To darken another's day is cruel.
We remain alone but fine.
Am I fine, really?
Maybe.
Am I happy?
Don't rub it in their faces.
Am I sad?
Others have it worse.
I'm fine.
A surface answer.
To dig deeper would be
what would it be?
