Fine

You ask me how I am,

I'll never say happy,

Never sad,

____,

Eyebrows high,

Flexing a smile,

Your blow glances off of it,

And I counter immediately,

You have no time to open that wound,

How's life?

I'll never say great,

Never terrible,

____,

Muscles twitch,

My armor dented,

I bring up your own,

Query your past to get you to talk,

I put some distance between your blade and my shield,

I'm ____ as I am,

I'm ____ on my own,

Work is ____,

I'm feeling ____,

Your blows are numb,

You threw more hits but It's I who's won,

You didn't even know that this was a war,

That your sword was unsheathed and pistol drawn,

But the spotlight's on you now,

My smiling shield can rest,

That's ____ with me,

That's good with me,

That's great with me,

Don't worry,

I'm ____.
