i'm fine

you see me
all ironed out
seemingly wrinkle free

i appear fine
neat and proper
yet you fail to see the signs:
the hollow eyes
the searching face
the hungry heart

you see past me
without even asking
you're too busy

thanks em! yes, i wrote this...just a reminder that we are in a "hi, how are you, I am fine" culture, but perhaps not really in each other's faces.
