HIGHWATER ELL

How are you? - Poem by Highwater Ell Shot and Edited by Gxbbytxm Featuring Le3 BLACK and Jay Poem You know the worst thing about putting on a brave face? It's believable. Conversing like I'm good, a laugh might break, nobody's seeing through So let's address the question "how are you?" Who, in a sane frame of mind would reply "out of 10 I'm 2" And therein lies the issue First of all we're inclined and conditioned to resign ourself to zip it with smile and a wink declining chances of admission Everything we omit might be witnessed in a glimpse but we still follow the script because Who really cares? Secondly am I sane as I refrain to overshare? Often we trained are to frame it how society expects What if sanity's exhaling all the the things laid on your chest And that peace is gained embracing we're not 100% Then again I think the other person wants us not to become burdensome I sink a little further into my internal furnace Because I couldn't be certain that my outburst wouldn't hurt them So curtail the whole emotion into "I'm doing just perfect" Although it isn't and we know that But it doesn't fit the whole chat So next time I see a sigh behind flicker in their eyes I think I'll try, really try to go back and ask again How are you? As for me? How am I? I'll pretend and say I'm fine But really though I'm fine
