" I'M FINE"

Even though my heart is broken in multiple pieces, Like shards of glass from a big window, Scattered across the floor, each fragment reflecting the pain within. Even though my world is crumbling down, Just as a tornado visiting the earth, Leaving nothing but chaos and devastation in its wake, Even though my eyes are blood shot red, Like the red sea that swallowed humans, The deep, turbulent waves of sorrow and despair consuming my gaze. Even though my mind screams at how miserable I have been, The only answer I have to the question "how are you?", Can only be "I'm fine," a fragile facade masking the tempest within.
