It’s Fine - #inktober 2018 day 3

It’s Fine 

Emotions in the rear view mirror 
Are not as stable as they appear 
Expressions in the front view camera 
Aren’t the sum of what’s happening here.
The cartoon hearts in status updates 
Erase some of the state of mind
You’ll find me in
From time to time,
But it’s fine, 
Really,
I’m just fine.

Perhaps it’s a problem of mine,
That I define myself with jokes about wine,
Or that this personality I’ve made for you
Cracks and lets some feeling through,
But it’s fine, 
Really, 
It’s just fine. 

And yes, there’s a lie in the selfie smile.
Maybe we’ve all been pretending for a while, 
And maybe the likes get us a little too buzzed, 
The hearts and dopamine hits causing such a fuss,
But it’s fine,
Really, 

It’s fine.
