this is for the "i'm fine"
girls.
the girls
whose hearts are actually breaking.
the girls
who smile and nod.
the girls
who are madly in love with a boy.
the girls
who blink back their tears.
the girls
who cry themselves to sleep.
the girls
who listen to sad music alone.
the girls
who stare at couples in the mall.
because,
despite what we tell everyone else,
we are not
fine.
we are not
fine at all.
