This is so true. Everyone says that they're fine when they're not. It's just...kind of a fact of life. But it's a stupid fact of life. -_-

This is great. I love your insight and the way you play with words (in all your poems). You always make me think. ]

Wow, this was awesome! I love the idea you had behind it, because it is so true that in our generation fine is pretty much the only acceptable answer if someone asks how we are. We could have have just gotten shot, and we'd say we're fine...just don't open up as easily...great job! kw

Wow. This poem absolutely blew me away. I was actually thinking similar things to this poem the other day...weird. Anyways, I loved these lines, "shattered

dreams and empty

smiles and black in s"

And I loved the play on the word redefined at the end. Great job with this :)
