All is good with me
When I'm talking to you
All is good when I'm surrounded
But what happens when I'm not?
I am great
Because you asked me
I am not when I ask myself
How are you doing?
"I'm doing fine
Because I am afraid to show my scars to you
Yeah, I'm good
Everytime you ask me
And I'm trying to find the real answer when alone
But I will not tell you this truth
Because you might judge me
And I'm scared that I will not fit in a demanding society"
How are you doing?
I am great
Don't you see I'm smiling?
I will not show you my fears
Because you might not understand them
And I'm trying to find the real answer when alone
But I will not tell you this truth
Because I'm scared I will not fit in
How are you doing?
I am doing amazing
Because I want you to envy me for what I'm not yet
I will not show you my pain
Because I need to figure it out myself first
And when I'm done I can say
I am doing fine
Because I don't care anymore if I fit in or not
I am doing great
And I don't have to fake a smile
I am doing amazing
Because I am not afraid anymore
I am doing so good
When I can show the world who I truly am
How are you doing?
I'm fine is a reminder of how easily we say it without being true.
It also a reminder of the fact that you can really be fine and share who you are every single time - feeling good about it.
