Look at the outer me,
really look! Do I look fine, to you? In some ways I am fine, but not fine as well. Moving around the house, tube feeds for nutrition, IV hydration, Couple sips or spoonfuls here or there. So yes I may be fine, But not fine as well. Do you see what's beneath the cover, what's in my soul, the scars upon my body, physically and deep within? Yes, I may be fine, But not fine as well. Have you experienced my pain, my nausea, or constant fatigue? Silently trying to avoid outsiders from seeing my inner struggles. Yes, I may appear fine, But not fine as well. Have you ever given up, not wanting to bother talking to a doctor? Already knowing there's no relief to be found, no new way to describe or explain. Yes, I may act fine, But, I'm not fine as well. So when you see me smiling, laughing, joking, loving Know that I'm also crying, struggling, pretending, trying. As sometimes I may be fine, But, also not fine as well.
