Biggest Lie
They caused so much pain,
That can’t be explained.
Just stay in your lane,
No point to complain.
I will never be heard,
I will never be yearned.
I lie awake at night,
Asking if I should fight.
Or just deal with it.
Live with it,
Internalize it,
Others have it worse,
This is not a curse,
Just hide,
Make up a lie,
I just want to die—
Wait—
Sorry, slip of the tongue,
Rewind, that was wrong.
Meant to say: I’m fine.
I’m fine, I’m fine;
I swear to the heavens,
I am fine.

Yep, we all try to deny the pain. Nicely done.
Some great lines. I like the change in direction, the trying to stuff everything back in the box.
A well written poem with very good couplets and cadence.Could be converted to music!
good poem. 'I am fine' certainly become the biggest lie right now.
This is my opinion. You have honestly presented what just made me think as the making of a resolution. People lie about facts before them but do they fall to be judged within. Who will answer a mind divided among mindsets of true distress and I feel these lines wound a journey unseen in your untold scripts? There is a feeling the heat never wounds us unless we feel the burns left untouched. Please do get our decisions so made correctly that the talk can proceed. Dont just wake up today and say I am fine when you are already lost. But there is a message I like to quote.
May be someone who shout this message must know what is coming out of a work so kept changing. I feel the artist must camp around the top of the voice to say and call back where this is missing.
Anyway good expressions. :)
Fine , my mother always said " Your not fine , your a broken piece of finer things , a fine is for law breakers and ball point pens"
