How are you
how are you
i am fine, but
am i really
i am depressed
i live in a world of nothingness
emotional grief has engulfed me in it's iron grip
it won't let go
the sorrow has become too much and now controls me, but
i am fine
i am angered
my stomach boils
my hands clench while i shake
the need for deep breathes is great
they had no right to comapre the conditions, but
i am fine
I am melancholy
others pains flash before my eyes
an endless pit of worry
a heavy heart dragging down my once soaring spirit
the loss of another family member is unbearable, but
i am fine
I am befuddled
words, places, and numbers swirl aimlessly in the abyss of my mind
the days and weeks go by so fast my head spins
a plethora of unanswerable questions come to mind
it is the constant zoning out, but
i am fine
i am scared
the shadows lazily creep twards me
the darkness makes me jump
my heart pounds while my insides squirm
too frightened to ever watch Bones again, but
i am fine
I am flustered
my stomach is eating itself up
my nails are now nothing
the pressure is suffocating me
anxious for the upcoming PARCC, but
i am fine
i am jubilent
the excitment makes me jittery
the extra bounce in my step
the uneraseable ear to ear girl
anxious for the competition to begin, but
i am fine
i am guilty
i am on edge to the point thinking is impossible
my heart heavy so i must tell someone
my nerves are going haywire
i just had to get revenge, but
i am fine
i am in love
my heart is melting
with only him on my mind
an endless giddy feeling in my stomach
as the picture perfect boy is on tv, but
i am fine
i am human
my emotions vary
they swirl around my pre-occupied mind and body like a summer breeze
i am more than good, o.k., or fine
life has multiple emotions some easier to tell than other,but
i am always just fine
i am fine
all the distinctive emotions put into three words
the automatic answer to the most simple question
no thought or sencerity in the answer, but
i am still fine
remember
how are you
i am fine,but
am i really

These are all emotions i have either felt or read about in my short 14 years. Life is conmplex and is meant to take a long time to figure out. Hopefully this poem will open your eyes up to other people's emotions. Emotions are a key piece in the puzzle of life.
