I Told you I’m Fine





I want to tell you I am fine

Inside I am screaming

I have to pretend

Force my tears down

Every time I turn around 


I feel the heat rising

My hand ball up

I stop myself

Just before my fist hits the wall


I scream loud with frustration

As a sound almost of roar

Maybe a growl escapes these lips

My vocals are sore

From pushing things down

Screaming so loud


I don’t want you to worry

I am fine

At least that’s what I keep saying 

If I say it enough

Maybe I’ll just believe it


The hurt of the day

The overwhelming feeling floods me like a tsunami 

Tries to wash me back out

My hands clawing at the powdery sand

I just scream some more


The feeling of being told

You are nobody

How that stings

Maybe I deserve that

Maybe I am just that

A nobody

For I am a girl with no name

At least that’s what I come to believe 


I keep telling you I am fine

As I walk around this world

It spins around me

I stand in place

Time passing me by

I no longer have concept of such things

For it’s never standing still


I am fine I told you

Why don’t you believe me

Is it because my eyes glasses over

Maybe the redness in my cheeks

Is it caused I snapped at you

All the above tells you I am fine


My eyes are red

They look like glass

For those who see me

Know what is hiding

See the pain buried deep within

Maybe they’ll see I am not fine


If I say I am not

I have to buckle up

Move on

Believe other people 

Look at the source

Stop letting them get to me

How can that happen

When your trained this way


I am fine

When the memories of a hand on my throat

Sirens blaring in my ears

That’s not what bothers me


No one cares to listen

Maybe I’m not worth hearing

For if I was

Maybe they’d see me

Hear me

When I joke about drinking poison

It’s just a thought I joke

I’ll never act


There goes my ideations again

Screaming from behind

Pounding on the glass

Wanting to escape


I am fine, right?

I have to be

No one cares if I am not

I am alone in this world

Fighting a battle I already lost

My position given up

Before it started

Who was my trader


The battle keeps going

I stand there

Sounds

Everyone moving around me

I don’t have this

Maybe I never did

That’s what I’m told right


Whispers under my breathe

I have to be fine

I just have to be
