When you ask me how I am
And I tell you that “I’m fine”,
It means I’ve cried too many tears
And breathed a multitude of sighs.
If my words seem pretty vague,
Well, I do it by design,
Because I don’t want you to know,
Underneath I’m not so fine.
Secret Thoughts Within 
Oh, yessss. I sighed after I read it. I can relate.

sometimes I think people don’t really want to know how you are, so you brush them off with ‘I’m fine’–

Thanks Ben. We are interesting creatures to be sure… Not saying what we mean and not always meaning what we say.
