One day I was asked
A short simple question
So why did I take
So long to mention
The fact that I feel
Too much like death
The fact that it hurts
To take one small breath
The fact that it feels
Like I’m breaking apart
The fact that I feel
That I have no heart
The fact that I sleep
Too much a day
The fact that I can’t
Stay out of the way
The fact that I feel
My soul collapsing
The fact that I feel
So much like relapsing
Now here is the question
‘How are you today’
And here is my answer
I said ‘I’m okay’
