“I'll hold my breath and not say a word. Things you'll never know. I'm fine,i'm fine, I keep telling everyone. Some days when I'm in tears I act like the most happiest person that ever existed. You asked if I was okay. I said I'm great. And we moved on with the conversation. Put in person its like I sew my mouth shut. A word wont be spoken. My eyes are on the ground. And here comes with the same question thats always being asked,''Are you okay?'' ''Yeah,I'm fine'',I'll always say. ''Whats wrong?'' And thats when I say,''Nothing. Everything is perfect.'' I run, and smile. My smile is fake. But no-one can tell the difference but me.Keep most of my secrets,thoughts and feelings to myself. And thats when I lie to everyone with a simple,''I'm Fine.'' But my cuts and scars show different. I'm not fine.”
