Everything's Fine Poem by Angelica Duardo

I was young and innocent.
Your little fights made me cry

I used to dream of your silence,
I used to wish between my tears
That this would end forever
So I would have no fears

Then your little fights turned into wars
And every word would make me cry
And every time I looked into your eyes
You would say “everything’s fine”

I realized, soon, is not fine
To pretend being unbreakable
To lose your hope and soul.
How can everything be fine
When one has a broken heart?

But now I’ve grow
Now I understand
You said you did it all
Because you loved us so

Now I’m ok
Let’s pretend this never happened
Let me wash your tears away
I will always be here with you
I will never let you down
