How Am I Doing?

Don’t ask me how I am doing.
What do you expect me to say?
Should I tell you that I’m miserable?
Or should I lie and say I’m okay?
I can’t answer that question.
I don’t want pity I want you.
Do you really want to hear,
My life is empty and days are blue?
How am I doing?
Should I give my reply?
I miss you more and more,
As each moment passes by.
I could tell you I’m over you,
But please don’t ask for proof.
Every day I hurt more.
I still love you, is the truth.
I can’t tell you things are better.
That I’m happy or getting by.
Honestly, I’m scared and lonely.
Every night, I still cry.
How am I doing?
My life, the definition of hell.
I’ve locked myself away.
My memories, my cell.
I could tell you I’ve found someone.
But that would be another lie.
I know you don’t want to hear,
Some nights I pray to die.
My dreams have faded.
My goals are shattered.
My future frightens me.
You were all that mattered.
How am I doing?
I get worse every day.
I’ve lost my reason for being.
So, what should I say?
I’m trapped by a love,
I refuse to let go.
How am I doing?
Did you really want to know?
Fun is a memory.
Dreams, a thing of the past.
Love that’s one sided.
Hope’s all that lasts.
How am I doing,
Since you’ve been away?
What can I tell you?
I guess… I’m okay.

Well said. I agree that some questions are better left unasked. Touching poem.

| You're doing better since August though!!! I think... ;) It'll get better with time... but this poem does a REALLY great job of portraying all the thoughts that go through your head the instant that the question is asked... until you say... fine, ok, good, I'm here... etc... Great write Curtis... and the pain gets easier.. just takes a little while. |
