I'm Okay

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’
