I Am Fine

Desolate, abandoned, without a lifeline

The nightmares, the monsters all hold me in their thrall

I am fine

That feeling of failure, worthlessness, old friends of mine

A waste of space, a burden to all

Desolate, abandoned without a lifeline

I attack myself, my failures, mistakes, weakness, intertwined

These feelings poised to erupt as I shout at the wall

I am fine

So incredibly exhausted, so incredibly appalled

The longer I resist, the further I fall

Desolate, abandoned without a lifeline

Trapped in this never-ending trial that is mine

Cold and alone, my self-esteem dropping like leaves in fall

I am fine

The light is slowly failing to shine

I slowly approach his draconic lair, his maleficent hall

Desolate, abandoned and without a lifeline

I . . . I . . . I am fine
