I am fine.
Sure, I am crying.
I look broken beyond repair.
My chest hurts.
But I am fine.
I'm okay.
I swear it.
Oh, this?
Just slight dismay.
I'm okay.
I'm fantastic,
Don't you see the fake smile,
The smile that has tricked so many over the years?
Please believe me when I say,
I'm fantastic.
Dont take into account,
That I am not eating.
That I am losing sleep.
Continue to live your life,
I swear...
I'm fine.
I'm not exhausted,
I don't stay up all night,
Thinking of possible scenarios,
That could happen at any given moment.
I swear...
I'm fine.
About the Creator
E.G.
My work aims to provoke reflection, ask uncomfortable questions, and occasionally offer a path forward — but never too easily. When I'm not writing, I'm probably reading three books at once or arguing with myself about which one to finish.
