How Are You?

Half-hearted compliments

And sympathy hugs

Asking how I really am

Like I’m some kind of mug

I am not my past and I am not my future

Don’t sit there expectant

I’ll order you an uber

Emotionless & oblivions

To Previous parts of my life

Said no to antidepressants

Despite doctor’s advice

I wasn’t depressed just grieving a little

Treated like a victim by small minded people

I don’t really have that type of mentality

You learn to switch it off

When you work in hospitality

I don’t use the term

Rebirth

Lightly

Maybe look away

This process is unsightly

Disappeared a few months

Then I come back all mighty

So how am I really doing?

What do you think?

Enlighten me
