i’m okay.
i’m fine
i tell them
even though i stay confined in the twine
i’m alright
i shout
even though my mind stays flooded with thoughts followed by doubt
don’t worry about me
i scream as i leave
even though i can’t seem to find relief
sooner or later i will know
that it wasn’t a matter of convincing others
it was a matter of convincing myself .
