yes, everything's fine
of course i'm sure
i'm okay
i promise

my runny nose,
it must be a cold.
and some dust
must have gotten in my eye.

i look away
and contort my face
caused by the mental pain,
like hot irons on my heart.

in a playful move
i cover my face with a pillow.
i'm hiding my feelings, my face,
my tears.

i'm okay,
"daijoubu"
i promise
ok, just this once, i'm a liar.
