I’m fine
Is the easiest thing to say
It can be a sign
That you’re having a bad day
…
I’m fine
Most won’t look beyond the smile
I don’t want to explain
Sometimes it’s just plain denial
I’m fine
I don’t want to admit
That I am not okay
That I hurt and I just want to quit
…
I’m fine
My body and mind are not
But I’m alive
I must remember all I’ve got
I’m fine
If you look hard enough you’ll see
That I’m not
I’m finding it hard to just be
…
I’m fine
I’m struggling to cope
Please send help
I need to find some hope
…
I’m fine
I don’t want you to worry
I understand
Life is passing in a hurry
I’m fine
I feel like I’m on fire
Agony
My voice is a liar
…
I’m fine
I just can’t stop saying I’m okay
I’m fine
Please get me through this day
…
I’m fine
…
I understand not wanting to explain but I can never say I’m fine because it’s been almost 20 years now since I’ve been fine. Best of luck to you. Fibromyalgia is hard to deal with.

This is painfully sad, and all too relatable. Fine is so much easier than explaining the reality. And yet some times we really, really wish people would just know what it’s like without having to ask, that they ‘get’ how we’re feeling and that we need support. Beautiful piece, Bethan ♥

Thank you for hour kind words Caz! It means a lot. Luckily there are a couple of people in my life who can tell when I’m suffering even when I try to hide it. I’m trying to learn to be more open but don’t want others to worry or stop me doing things xx
