Are You Okay?
May 12, 2017
I'm fine
It's a two word line
Sometimes considered a lie
If you catch the person at the wrong time
I'm fine
They type with eyes full of tears
You ask twice if they're okay
They say I'm fine
But you know they're not
Yet you leave them alone
A choice they were hoping you wouldn't make
I'm fine
They tell everyone
When deep down inside they are broken
And need fixing
Yet the only thing they say is
I'm fine

I'm fine it's something I am knowledgeable about. I have said I'm fine I have been told by others that they are "fine" and I have watched others be "fine". But it has a deeper meaning to it everything does. But it is when someone realizes that meaning that will make the difference.
