You ask me how I am <br />I say I'm fine <br />You nod like that's good <br />And move on <br /> <br />You don't understand <br />The difference <br />Fine is not okay <br />Okay is not quite good <br /> <br />It doesn't matter if <br />My life is crashing down <br />I will always be fine <br />Ask if I'm okay <br /> <br />Fine is what I say <br />When I don't trust you <br />Fine is what I am <br />When you don't care <br />For a detailed answer <br /> <br />You don't really want <br />Me to tell how I feel <br />You're just asking <br />Because it's polite <br /> <br />Fine is what I am <br />When I'm breathing <br />Fine is what I say <br />When I'm not dead <br />But that doesn't always <br />Mean I'm alive <br /> <br />So it doesn't matter if <br />My life is crashing down <br />I will always be fine <br />Ask if I'm okay <br /> <br />Okay is what I am <br />When I'm surviving <br />I have problems <br />But I'll deal with them <br /> <br />Okay is what I say <br />When I'm nervous <br />Or minorly unhappy <br />But at least I'm not bad <br /> <br />It doesn't matter if <br />My life is crashing down <br />I will always be fine <br />Ask if I'm okay<br /><br />Juvela Obi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fine-6/
