How Are You ?



 Armed with all that I had inside of me,

I wished I knew the answer to your question 

I smiled and nodded, knowing the truth inside,

These battle scars would not fade away.


A marvel crafted,yours and only,

Crafted inside so neatly and deep

The hurts and suffering are so true,

A heavy burden, a mournful hue.


My heart weighed down, year after year,

Like an arrow piercing through it's core 

It bleeds as though it's life were fluid ,

A wound that gapes , a crimson stain.


A silent cry, a hidden tear,

"How are you?", I can't explain 

Why do I say this? ,You might be surprised,

Beneath this mask, I am not okay.
