Fine - Everything Is Fine. Poem by Anna Pine

fine - a satisfactory or pleasing manner; very well

I'm fine. thats my standard response. every hows life, how are you, hows it going,
I say one of three without fail.
(its) (im) alright
It is what it is
(its) (im) fine.

upon reflection I'm such a shitty liar. everyone who knows me knows that it is a defense. they all know that if I ever admit how hurt I am id just break and it'd be the end.
So im fine! right? Now you know too.
it's all right
I'm fine
everything is fine and I can keep going. for a bit longer
