To A Girl Like Me #1

To A Girl like me: 


You woke up today not feeling like it was a good day to do 'life' but you have to.

You have to get up and clean your body and go out of this space where you feel most comfortable and show up to work. Smile and pack and sweep the floors.

When anyone asks 
"how are you?"
Your reflexes take over and you respond
" fine thanks."
Even though it's a lie.

As you put the key into the lock and twist that evening, you sighed, pushing the door open as you step through. 

You turn around to close it again, just as you have every time, looking at the busy streets and people hurriedly walking to get home to someone they love and who loves them back, " I'm fine, thanks for asking." You murmur as the lock clicks shut.
