Not Fine

I force back

The tears

Fighting to escape 

My eyes 

Just like how I'm 

Trying to escape

This moment.

Fire burns inside me

My shaky breath

Fuels the flames 

I swallow 

Hard

And I struggle to see

Through my glistening

Eyes.

I put my head down

Ignoring 

Everyone around me

Asking

What's wrong?

You good?

Are you okay?

Because if I answered

I would say 

Nothing's wrong

Yes 

I'm fine. 

And no one would know

That something 

Is wrong

And I'm 

Not fine.
