How Are You?

How are you?

Do you have time to sit for awhile

To let me pour my heart out

Listen to me as the tears fall

The pain unfolds

The truth gets told

How are you?

Do you want the simple version

The I’m okay

Enjoying life

I joined a gym

Work is busy

Family is great

How are you?

I don’t know how I feel

Day to day the emotions roll

Like the storm across a lake

Beautiful

Scary

Coming in quick

Staying for awhile

How are you?

I’m here

I survived today

I had fun today

I cried today

How are you?

How do I answer your ask

There’s depth

There’s shallow

A simple yet complex question

One I avoid

How am I?

How am I?

How am I?

Love Always, Jess
