I’m Fine, I’m Fine, I’m Fine

 

Oh, what’s happened to you?
Why are you crying?
You barely speak these days
just lying there, silent, sighing.
But  I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m fine!

And it’s not the first time
I’m stumbling into a tunnel of night,
each step swallowed by fading light,
tears trailing fears, drowning without sight
But you know what?
I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m fine.

I eat, sleep and repeat,
I greet you with my widest grin,
hoping you never glimpse within
those fragile cracks I try to mend,
the moments I just… pretend
that I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m fine.

But now, I’m sinking in a sorrowed sea,
its waters salted with misery,
dyed blue by melancholy.
And I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry
I can’t keep dressing up as jolly.

Forgive me…you weren’t meant to see
these tears, these truths inside of me.
But I’m tired of trying
trying so damn hard to be
JUST FINE!!!
