Sulking in Verses

I’m Okay

Posted in Poetry by Catherine Patacsil on May 7, 2011

“How are you?”

Telling the truth is sometimes too much of a trouble

And (long) conversations are not always desirable

So you say

I’m okay.

It says everything

Without telling anything

And it cuts short the conversation

That would’ve been awkward (and long.)

So next time someone asks

Two words would effectively mask

You’re done and good to go.

Say “I’m okay.”

even if it isn’t so.
