the most common question
that you may ask someone
is
how are you?
or
how's it going?
and i think that it's kind of
pointless
because
nobody ever
says anything other than
good
great
or fine
why do we ask questions
about other people
if we can't even answer it ourselves

i mean
i don't want to be a burden or anything
that's why i may choose
to say
i'm fine
even when i'm not

i find that we
as a community
ask
"are you okay?"
whenever somebody is crying
way more than we should
because i mean

i don't want to create a scene
so i'll
stop crying
and tell you i'm fine
i told you
i don't want to be a burden

i personally
find that the term
ish
works quite well
it's still not the full truth
but i'm not a burden then either

so i think we need to
either
stop asking
or
start answering
because life isn't always
good
great
or fine

you took what was mine
and made it yours, not knowing
that it was all I had

you don't understand
you've
cried
wolf
and been dramatic
so now
everybody ignores you
because
we don't believe you
why would we?

and honestly
you're my best friend
and i am yours
at least that's how
it used to be
now i can't stand
being around you

i still worry about you
trust me
it's true
i'm scared one day
it'll be real

i'm scared to lose you
because
i may not act like it
but you mean so much to me

sometimes when you're mad
the words just flow easier
maybe that's why I write poetry
maybe that's why I get into fights
maybe that's why people say I have a short temper
maybe that's why I yelled at you
maybe that's why I couldn't stop myself from punching you.
maybe that's why.

how are you happy
after hurting someone who
you were so close too
