I'm Fine

​

You look well, I’m fine.

I’m wearing my new boots, I’m fine.

I washed my hair, I’m fine.

I’m wearing my favourite top, I’m fine.

She’s gone. I look fine, she can’t see.

 

I want to tear down the trees

rip up all the grass

crush the fence surrounding me

kick all the people out of here,

I’m a raging monster,

but to her, I’m fine.

 

How are you? I’m fine.

You look good, I’m fine.

You ok? I’m fine.

Repeat, repeat, repeat, I’m fine.

 

I’m on the verge of drowning, but I’m fine.

I’m thrashing in a raging sea, but I’m fine.

I’m staring death in the face,

but to you, I’m fine.

 

I’m the one who lies

I’m the one who laughs,

I’m the one who lies

I’m the one who smiles,

I’m the one who lies

I’m the one who cries behind your back,

I’m so not fine.

 

You don’t see the real me

you don’t feel the hurt,

you don’t see the frustration

you don’t see the anger,

 

I want to rip the heart out of my life

I want to jump off the highest bridge

I want to swallow a thousand pills

I’m screaming for help,

but to you, I’m fine.
