I say

I say I’m fine
When all that’s going through my mind is how the hell can I mask feeling how I do so that no one knows

I say I’m fine
When right now I’m fighting, fighting to feel safe when in reality I couldn’t be safer

I say I’m fine
When all I want Is to know how to process these thoughts, the thoughts that tell me I’m worthless when I know I’m not

I say I’m fine
When right now I know I’m not
