I'm fine. So don't question why tears are filling my eyes. I'm stressed to do my best. I must confess, I'm a mess. All this work in front of me, the work, it hurts my mind. So don't wonder why I will sit here and lie. If you ask if I'm okay just know I'll say the same thing every time. I'm fine......

I'm Fine
Don't tell me you've lost hope as you look at me with desperation. Liquid diamonds escape your eyes and flow down rosy cheeks. But I saw the shimmer of light through your black soul and that's when I realized that coldness doesn't belong in the heat of your smoldering heart. You're a beautiful mess torn between demons and angels, darkness and light, hope and despair. Maybe you need to take another look at yourself and see the things I see. Like the way your eyes fill with wonder as you speak of waterfalls and sunsets and those nighttime adventures at 3:00 in the morning when you give in to insomnia because you think too much and I know it hurts but I say, stop. Free your lovely mind, be at peace with yourself and maybe you'll sleep tonight. But before you do, remember that I saw the light in you when you were at your darkest moment. It radiates off you. It illuminates you. Darkness doesn't belong in the fire of your soul. So ignite the flame and don't let the spark die out because if it does, then I'll die, too. But don't tell me you've lost hope because hope is what got you here, hope is what made you stay, and hope is what I have for you that one day you'll see yourself the way I see you.
