Okay now we do not always show and tell of thing once done. In frustration or depression many things can happen that stay out of sight. This is something that I wrote remembering times very gloomy.

Feeling the scars!
How am I doing,
You’re asking
I’m okay as you can see
no cuts
no bruises
no broken bones
The skin patching
the deeper scars
held together
with tears
you see
How am I doing
Is what you asked me
Doing okay
no cuts
no bruises
As you can see
Gripping hand
of aching chest
feeling the heart
crushing
inside
How am I doing
times three you ask
I’m doing fine
no cuts
no bruises
as you can see
Though pain is real
grinding teeth
empty spaces
hollow soul
parts taken
How am I doing
I don’t even know
as time keeps
on moving
and heal the cuts
of what has been lost
Scarring the layers
unseen to you
How am I doing
no need to ask.
I’m doing perfect
for I’m alive.

This is as it was written, and slightly painful remembering times I lived with a single foot down a grave. Sometimes completely lost myself as one can see.

hmmmmm…a question that rarely gets answered truthfully by people. I loved the “scarring unseen” bit. Nice 🙂
That much is very true, we are always okay and suffer our pain feeling our scars.
Thank you for taking the time to read an answer.
I used to always go through that phase. I guess… I still do once in a while. Nice writings! Cheer up and don’t forget to smile… We all know nothing stays the same forever… Well, until we do something about it.. Take your time
After this comment I was and am smiling. Thank you.
True we all have our days we struggle and return to what was. I don’t regret it though. For I am here today.
When feeling like this I wonder what better thing a person could ask rather than how are you doing? Do you need anything? Do you want to come over and I’ll cook?
Yes what should we ask or just say, Maybe all that is needed is a nod. I would not know what to ask, even now, I truly do not know.
But is that cooking an offering hahaha LOL
Keep on smiling Miss Charlotte, and thank you for the lovely comment and thoughts.
