FINE …
One word …
Four letters …
Let’s pretend …
That nothing matters …
Nothing is wrong …
No words spoken …
When deep inside …
Everything is broken …
Won’t tell a soul …
Can’t let them see …
So all is FINE …
And good with me …
Say the word …
And nobody asks …
Not scratching the surface …
Just walking on past …
Moving on to the next …
Leaving me alone …
They dodge a bullet …
Whilst I stifle my moan …
Covering the truth …
There’s no other way …
What if I told you …
What would you say …
If I opened up …
What could you do …
It’s not your problem …
These are my issues …
Seen through my eyes …
And my perspective …
What do you care …
It’s all so subjective …
My mountain ranges …
Are your mole hills …
My fears, my doubts …
You’d handle with skill …
So it’s not important …
No need to vent …
I’ll keep it inside …
And that will prevent …
You needing to invest …
Any more of your time …
Because it doesn’t matter …
Honestly, I’m F.I.N.E …
Fucked up…
Insecure…
Neurotic…
Emotional…

Ah those passers by that won’t meet our eye, tuck their head and look to the other side. It’s so fun to be fine. Just change your wordings of courteous pleasantries on passing and maybe you’ll find someone just as fine when they raise an eye and reply, “Yes it is divine to be so F.I.N.E. Have a seat. I have an ear and am not restrained by time.”

“The pleasure was divine. Thank you.”
