I Am Fine Poem by Knoxy Tomar

In a dark place, left all alone
Feeling uneasy and on the verge of tears I clutch my phone
I am in too deep waters to get out on my own.
Drowning in my own thoughts and emotions
I need someone to save me from this impending explosion.

Anxious and desperate moisture forms in my eyes anew
I scroll through my contacts but everyone feels aloof
I feel like no one will understand what I am going through
Forbidding my tears, I call the few I trust
Ranting my problems to someone right now has become a must

The maddening sound of the endless ringing infuriates me further
I try to search for someone else but there is none other
The moisture in my eyes starts to condense
My greatest fear seems imminent and I stand without a defense
Afraid of crying alone without any loved ones to lessen my pain
Weak and vulnerable I need someone to cool down my overheated brain.

Everyone seems just so distant and far
I look around to see all the doors shut tightly, not even any left ajar
Unwanting to seem pathetic to anyone else
I shed my tears with none other than myself.
Tomorrow morning when they inquire about any troubles I will decline
Telling lies about how it's nothing serious and that I am fine.
