fine

When they ask I say I’m fine
Half a smile not meeting eyes
Change the subject moving on
Hide the truth behind the lies
Make pointless conversation
One foot already out the door
Disconnected from everyone
Can’t take this anymore
Not talking about checking out
Tired of just getting by
Craving understanding
With no-one asking why
Weary of my own strength
Need someone to really see
Hear the words I struggle to speak
Someone to look out for me
