numb

you could say

I'm doing okay

happier than yesterday,

just keeping a world of sadness at bay.

you could say

I'm doing alright

the end is far, out of sight

like the millions of stars out at night.

you could say

I'm doing so-so

still a pulsing light but a dull glow

like I've been given steroids but I'm going slow-mo
