"I'm Fine"
when did fine come to mean depressed, anxious, scared, suicidal, desperate, self-conscious?
when did we start to lie?
"I'm fine," she says, as her stomach gnaws away at her insides, growling for food
"I'm fine," he says, as he pulls the sleeves of his sweater down over his blood-stained wrists
"I'm fine," she says, after purging all of her dinner
"I'm fine," he says, when the anxiety gets so bad that he can't breathe right
"I'm fine," they say, as they write their last goodbye,
one last lie.
