No Im Not Fine Poem by Jayne Roddy

Why do i feel i have to lie all the time
People as me how i am-I say fine
Im not fine and cant remember when i was
Is this how you feel when you have a loss
Time is a healer-Dont make me laugh
Life is rubbish-I think its naff
Why do i feel so angry all the time
When people ask how i am
I want to say im great-Im fine
Il just fade away-Leave me in a corner
Let me be known as the miserable mourner
I should be over it i know i should
I need to be brought down with a great big thud
One day maybe i will cope
Are you fine people will say
Il tell the truth and il say nope
