I’m Fine

Where were you?

I’m fine she told me

The words echo in my head for days and days.

I’m fine, she says with a smile on her face.

Little did we know she was stuck in a prison.

A prison she couldn’t escape.

A prison of the idea of a life she always wanted.

A life she was never granted.

A life that felt so haunted.

And because of a selfish mistake she made

she never will be that person she wanted to be.

Because she’s gone.

Over a small incident.

Over a small accident.

Over a small disagreement.

She held that blade to her throat and screamed

But nobody heard her

Or maybe her endless nights of insanity were just too much.

The people around stopped believing in her cries

Because every time she cried it was another waste of time

She thought she was a waste of time

She thinks to herself everyday

Why am I the way that I am?

What have I become?

And what was the answer?

Nobody knows.

Because nobody took the time to sit quietly and listen.

All she needed was someone to listen.

Why was there no one willing to listen?

How crazy is it that we can carry on with our days

Thinking about nothing but our own joy.

But never thinking of the pain that anyone else is feeling.

It’s almost sickening

Watching a once wonderful world turn to chaos

Maybe I’m bitter because of the meanings.

Maybe I’m bitter because I can see things.

Or maybe I’m bitter because that girl who died that day

was the girl that I once was.

And now I’m left a hollow nothing to take her place.

Maybe one day she’ll come back.

Maybe one day she won’t be she anymore.

Maybe one day she’ll come back to being me.
