I'm fine. I say it. I think it. I believe it but late at night After the day is over and there's nothing left to do but think I find myself realizing I'm not fine. I never am but I can't bring myself to feel not fine. I say it all the time. I say that lie all the time. I say it so much that I believe I am. For the first time in a long time I actually think I'm fine just for the realization that I'm not. I'm fine it's so much easier to say then how you actually feel. I'm fine it's just another lie. Easily backed with a smile and I promise I'm fine I swear if I'm not fine I'll tell you. It's just so easy to lie because no one thinks twice about it. No one really looks for any signs of not being fine. I'm fine it's the easiest thing to say until someone who really cares about you asks how your doing and I'm fine just seems to hard to say but you can't tell them how you feel because you don't want to worry them so you just nod your head. I'm fine I say it like I'm on autopilot. I'm fine it's the first thing that I say. I'm fine my mouth says but if you look into my eyes you'll see that I'm not fine. I'm fine. It's such a beautiful lie.
