My tough exterior is deceiving
Inside I’m screaming
Can you read between the line
No really.. I’m fine
Chinhita Bose
She asked am I okay
I said I’m fine
Alas ! She could not read
between the line.
Rinku Shah
Be there
If you really care,
So people can share!
Read between the lines,
Pay attention to the signs…
When someone says ‘I’m fine’.
Laila Ardiente
I’m smiling and pretending
that I’m fine,
but I’m dying
and struggling behind.
Ann Doherty
The words hide
what the heart holds
so the pain stays contained
Anand Singh Josh
You show only that part
which keeps them happy
Vyvienne Chamberlain
A standard answer
to a general platitude
asked by anyone
who doesn’t want
to hear the truth.
Sarrveshwaran
Depression in discretion.
I will never let it show
in my expression.
Although I feel low,
a happy smile I would show.
Your happiness is mine,
and that’s why when you ask,
“Are you okay?”
I reply,” I’m fine”
Everytime.
Rinku Shah
Look for the sign
Behind the ‘I’m fine’
Embroiled in emotions,
There’s such a commotion!
Felicia Holmes
My smile is not a lie
I use to hide,
It’s an escape from all
that goes on inside.
Mary Kirkpatrick
In the discrepancy
between what you say
And what you think
Truth is the missing link.
Sherry Greene
I show the world
exuberance, but
Oh, what darkness
hovers near behind
What you see,
my caring, kindly friend
It’s nothing like what is
in my mind
Debra Pry
If you could only hear
the cry on the inside,
When the outside
looks perfectly normal.
Prasupta Roy
Miseries are many
But the world cares for any
So I bury my agony
Deep inside me.
Sabiha Nikhat
With all those chaos
driving him mad,
His only comfort
was her Concern.
Sam Garrett
I’m fine, hides
a million of lies!
Sulekha Pande
I’m fine
The biggest lie,
people choose to overlook..
