Fine

Fine

Fine
The best lie there is,
No need to expand,
No meaningless talk is needed,
Just the word
Fine

How was your day?
Fine
How are you?
Fine
How did you do?
Fine
Just Fine
Perfectly Fine

So I lied,
What’s your point?
I don't care
You don't care
So why does it matter?

You say you want the truth?
The truth after all, hurts
But you say you want it anyway
Fine
I'll tell you the truth.

The truth is I hurt
My mind is a jumbled mess
My dreams are stupid if not scary
I cry most nights,
Most days
Most of the time.

But you don't care,
It doesn't matter to you
You think it’s not real
You think my pain is imagined
So I'll tell you,
Just to make you happy,
That I'm Fine
My day was fine
Work was fine
I'm fine
