Little Things Called Emotions

How are you

I am fine, but

Am I really

I am depressed

I live in a world of nothingness

Emotional grief has engulfed me in an iron grip

It won't let go

The sorrow has become too much and now controls me, but

I am fine

I am angered

my stomach boils

my hands making fists while I shake

the need for deep breathes is great

they had no right to compare, but

I am fine

I am melancholy

Others pains flash before my eyes

An endless pit of worry

A heavy heart dragging down my spirit

the loss of a grandma is unbearable, but

I am fine

I am befuddled

Words, places, and numbers swirl aimlessly around in an abyss of my mind

The days and weeks going by so fast my head spins

A plethora of unanswerable questions accumulating

It's the constant zoning out, but

I am fine

I am scared

The shadows lazily creep toward me

The darkness makes me jump

My heart pounding while my insides whither in fear

Too frightened to ever watch Bones again, but

I am fine

I am flustered

My stomach is eating itself up

My nails are now nothing

The pressure is suffocating me

As the P.A.R.C.C. draws near, but

I am fine

I am jubilant

The excitement makes me jittery

The unerasable ear to ear grin

The extra bounce in my step

Anxious for the competition to start, but

I am fine

I am guilty

I am on edge to the point my brain can not think

My heart heavy so I must tell someone

To relieve what I did

I had to get revenge but now it is making my nerves haywire, but

I am fine

I am in love

My heart is melting

With only him on my mind

A endless giddy feeling in my stomach

As the picture perfect boy appears on the t.v., but

I am fine

I am human

My emotions vary

They swirl around my pre-occupied mind and heart like a summer breeze

I am more then okay, good, or fine

Life has various emotions some easier to tell than others, but

I am always just fine

I am fine

All the distinctive emotions put into three simple words

The automatic answer to the most natural question

No thought or sincerity is in the answer, but

I am still fine

Have you been asked this simple yet complex question?

When you answer think about it

Don't be afraid to open up

No one is ever 'just fine'

Remember

How are you

I am fine, but

Am I really

Look for the deeper meaning in life
