I’M FINE
my reflection troubles me
a cognizance, a big deal
a world caged with bars of steel
can I even explain how I feel?
I’m fine, but I’m not okay
my world spin like the disc jockey
fully bothered but look less troubled
my worries consistently gets doubled
at the verge of insanity
already losing touch with reality
stretch a hand and see if I will bulge
my sanity has left its cozy spot of lodge
a rolling stone gathers no moss
like a steel coin I toss
a rush of blood to my head
just let me be, it’s not something to weld
soothingly, my smile mask a mockery
an empty print in a won lottery
my energies drained, a flaccid battery
can I be self-charged for assault and battery?

This poem feels like a battle between appearance and reality. The way you expressed emotional exhaustion, inner chaos, and silent struggles was powerful. I really love the wordplay and metaphors woven into it, especially how the pain is masked beneath calm expressions. Deep, heavy, and beautifully written.
