What I Say, (I’M FINE)/ Compared To What I’d Want to Say, (I WISH YOU’D STOP ASKING)

 

What I Say, (I’M FINE),

Compared To What I’d Want to Say, (I WISH YOU’D STOP ASKING)

Let me concur the world with my lips

tapped shut & my arms tied behind my back,

What good is it doing asking me?

I’m fine, let me go throughout my day smiling &

waving like a penguin of Madagascar,

What are you hoping I’d say?

let me bite my tongue as a reminder

not to let the wrong thing slip out,

I wish you’d stop asking,

I’m fine, ignore how I get my damn teeth &

repeat me trying to keep you &

your reasoning all at a distance,

do you not notice that my response

would be a trap for you as if you cared to listen,

I’m fine, trust me & save your breath,

I have already accepted my fate,

a ride that one like you is not prepared for,

has already picked the deepest ocean

that’ll help me execute said fate,

leave me the way you found me,

As I said I’m fine,

unbothered by your existence,

thank you anyway,

lost in my sea of thoughts.
