everyday I ask the same old boring question,
"How are you?"

and everyday I get the same old boring reply,
"Alright"

everyday I know the same old boring story,
"No, you aren't"

everyday I get the same old boring excuse,
"I'm tired"

everyday I follow the same old boring pattern,
"Really?"

everyday I get the same old boring lie,
"I'm fine"

everyday I learn the same old boring truth,
"My friend doesn't like me"

everyday I ask the same old question,
"What happened?"

everyday I get the same old reply,
"They won't talk to me"

everyday I still ask them,
"Can I help?"

not everyday I get the same reply,
"Yes"




everyday I ask the same question,
"How are you?"

and everyday I get the same lie,
"I'm fine"

and everyday I know it's a lie,
"Please talk to me"

and everyday they never reply,
"Please don't leave me"

and never do I get that same old boring question,
"How are you?"

never can I lie,
"I'm fine"

never am I told,
"Tell me"

never am I asked the same old boring question.
the question that makes someone feel alive.
