I'm Fine

She sits in the back of the class

Smiling but never saying a word

Making her look like a pane of glass

No one ever asked and never guessed

She tried to look her best

So no one would ever know

The stains and cuts that never show

 

In her dark world

No one knows about

It’s a quiet place

Where she can scream and shout

The world can’t hurt her

No words could scar her skin

As she whispers in the night

 

"I’m fine, don’t cry

Don’t even ask me why

The words in my wrists don’t mean

A thing to you

So please don’t worry about me

I’ll be fine"

 

Nobody even knew

About the day she flew

She made sure that she fell all alone

So that they wouldn’t know

And so nobody cried

Because no one knew

She was even there…

 

So that day, the funeral came

It was school, nearly the same

Not many people showed up to mourn

Except one boy who cried a storm

He held a note that said

 

"I’m fine…don’t cry

Don’t even ask me why

The blood on my wrists

Don’t mean a thing to you

So please don’t worry about me

I’ll be fine"

 

So he sat on the edge of the cliff

He smiled at the sky with a little sniff

“Hey babe I hope you can hear me”

“I’ll be joining you soon”

His parent tried to talk him out of it

He simply shook his head

And smiled…

 

"I’m fine, don’t…cry

Don’t even ask me why…

The tears in my eyes

Don’t mean a thing to me

Please…listen to me

Just do this for me

Don’t worry…

I’ll be fine…"
