I'm Fine

my first poem...I hope it's good.

I'm fine. I feel the pain that you cause me. Snake fangs sink deeply into my arm, it's venom spreading throughout my body. I want to give up, let the poison take over. I want the rain to drown out my silent screams.

 

Really, I'm fine. The sword stabs me repetitively between my gut. My throat is swollen, words choke me. Your glares melt my soul and shatters my hope. My bravery shrinks until it is no more. I am no more.

 

No, I'm just tired. I'm wide awake.

 

I'm okay, I promise. I'm not okay. My world is not okay. My eyes want to stay closed. Spiders want to weave a web around my mouth so I cannot speak. A barrier grows tightly around my eyelids. I can no longer open my eyes. Tears can't escape.

 

I trust you. I am a filthy liar. You did this to me. You should suffer along with me. Sink deeper into this hole that I am trapped under. Get choked by the sand and the mud and the blood that fills my lungs.

 

I'm fine. I'll never be fine.

 

I'm not fine.

 

Trust me, i'm lying.
