Lately I've been going through some really hard times. Bullying mainly. So month ago, beginning of April I wrote this poem. I guess one could call it an 'emo poem' 'cause it's about my feelings. I don't care if you think it's that. I wrote it to share with people, so you better not flame it... Yeah, that's pretty much it. I hope you like it.

I'm Fine

You ask how I feel.
I tell you I'm fine.
You smile your smile,
And look on by.

But, both you and I,
Know that it's just a lie.
That the words 'I'm fine'
Are just the cover up those scars

The scars of hurt feelings.
The scars of broken hearts.
The scary of lies told on both sides,
Eating me alive.

The scars of been told I'm not worthy.
The scars of been told I can't.
The scars of what I want to say,
But over years have learned to hide away.

So when you ask me how I feel,
And I tell you okay.
Smile that smile,
But don't look on by,
Ask me again.

"How do you feel?"

Nice!!! :3 I like it

Here's the deal. I critic. xD
Nah. I understand what you're going through: trust me. Rough times are rough times, though. And if you let yourself get through it and be stronger, you will.
And who cares about the emo culture? It stands for emotional, and I'm fine with that as long as you don't hurt ourself, because that's bad. ;-;

Anyway, I like it too. But I must say... everybody whose written a poem as probably written on this subject. xD Even me.

Should be being. ^^

Are just to cover up those scars?
Are just covering up those scars?

I'm going to have to say my favorite stanza is the third one. Mainly because of the way it rhymes. Lies, sides, and alive. Those two lines feel like they're almost ranted - but they roll so easily off of the tongue. I like it.

I think the last two stanzas would make more sense if 'ask me again' and '"how do you feel?"' were together in the last stanza, and the four lines are left to be their own... though I do appreciate the effort to make different stanza sizes.

I do like it though. ^^ Good job. Keep writing.
