I'm fine, she smiles,
her heart about to burst.
Not with hope, nor
love, nor
pride, nor
joy.
But pain,
pain and
fear and
hate and
anger.
But she smiles, and
says she is fine, and
they listen to her, but never
hear her.
They do no hear the beg, the
pled, the
cry for help.
With a smile she claims she is
fine, even though she is tired, and
used, and
burned up, and
done.
I'm fine, she defends, no
longer trying to make them hear.
No,
she tries to convince herself now.
A tear falls, and
another follows, and
she sniffs, and
she chokes.
I'm fine, she murmurs.
I'm fine, she cries.
I'm fine, and
the next day,
well--
she states she is fine.
Because she wants to
smile, and
think she is fine.

Love this. A lot of people, especially girls, can relate to these feelings. I have had them.
