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 readÂ
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’. Â
Laila Ardiente
I’m smiling and pretendingÂ
that I’m fine,
but I’m dyingÂ
and struggling behind.
Ann Doherty
The words hideÂ
what the heart holdsÂ
so the pain stays contained
Anand Singh Josh
You show only that partÂ
which keeps them happy
Vyvienne Chamberlain
A standard answerÂ
to a general platitudeÂ
asked by anyoneÂ
who doesn’t wantÂ
to hear the truth.
Sarrveshwaran
Depression in discretion.
I will never let it showÂ
in my expression.
Although I feel low,
 a happy smile I would show.
Your happiness is mine,
 and that’s why when you ask,Â
“Are you okay?”Â
I reply,” I’m fine”Â
Everytime.
Rinku Shah
Look for the sign
Behind the ‘I’m fine’
Embroiled in emotions,
There’s such a commotion!Â
Felicia Holmes
My smile is not a lieÂ
I use to hide,
It’s an escape from allÂ
that goes on inside. Â
Mary Kirkpatrick
In the discrepancy
between what you say
And what you think
Truth is the missing link.Â
Sherry Greene
I show the worldÂ
exuberance, but
Oh, what darknessÂ
hovers near behind
What you see,Â
my caring, kindly friendÂ
It’s nothing like what isÂ
in my mindÂ
Debra Pry
If you could only hearÂ
the cry on the inside,
When the outsideÂ
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 chaosÂ
driving him mad,Â
His only comfortÂ
was her Concern.
Sam Garrett
I’m fine, hidesÂ
a million of lies!
Sulekha Pande
I’m fine
The biggest lie,
people choose to overlook..
