I'm Fine

I’m fine 
It’s become such a part of my daily speech I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be it 
To be fine 
To not lie to the face of everyone I encounter 
To not worry about the flood of tears hidden behind my eyes
Doomed to erupt at any moment without control or consent

I want to be fine 
I want to not feel like every second of everyday I scramble through life in a fog 
A dense, ever thickening fog
Draining the air from my lungs
Stumbling in the darkness never to find the light 
Every step I take sets me back ten more
There’s no use in turning around and cheating
I’m so far from the start that it’s become useless to even try  
I want to feel happy and excited about my life 
Not dreading every day to come 
I want to stop feeling like swimming up for air 
Is doing nothing but dragging me down further
I want to go back to when my life was good
Before I lied everyday about how I was feeling 
Before I put on a fake smile for every person I encountered
I want to go back to the days where saying I’m fine 
Meant I’m fine

2019

2019 We’ve reached the end of the year The end of a decade This year has had many ups and downs  Some with unimaginable outcomes  For starters, it was the first full year without my mom My first full year without a mother’s guidance  My first full year without a mother’s love My first full year completely on my own But in this I’ve filled the void by letting in new friends  And allowing older ones to move in deeper  The biggest low of this year though was seeing what it’s like when a person is truly two-faced I’ve seen that no matter how long you may have known a person They can always be someone completely different on the inside  But I’ve learned from my mistakes and have left them in the past  Where they belong  They will stay in this year  But with the loss of one,  I have gained three  Three amazing friends that I will hold in my heart for as long as they will allow me I’ve witnessed t...
