Just Fine

*Note: This was written with a certain person in mind. He should know who he is, assuming he will even read this.

I am okay,

But only because I have to be.

I can't let sorrow,

Take control of me,

Because I would be useless,

A shell of my former self.

I am fighting depression,

Every step of the way,

And the need to cut,

Is more than I can take.

Believe me when I say,

That I am okay,

But don't forget,

To read between the lines.

I will be alright,

Somewhere down the road,

But for now I will be,

Just fine.
