"I'm fine"

Her invisible pain

She looked back out the window. She was so tired of pretending. Yet the only words that could come out of her mouth was "I’m fine". All she wanted to do was shut done and stop feeling. She's an empty shell with excruciating pain. Like many others she is a silent sufferer. She would rather the pain cripple and kill her than destroy anyone else. She was too determined not to shatter anyone else's light, so she sacrificed herself.

Yes.....sometimes they are the words we only have the courage and strength left to give.

There are many of us guilty of internalising our worries and feelings because we do not want to burden other's with our problems. But sometimes it is vital to have courage and be truthful for we may not be fine after all.

I liked this intro to your work. I feel it would look better on the page in shortened lines, to enhance the impact of your message. But regardless, it hits on a very deep issue and a relevant one in modern society. Nice work, my fellow Australian. A good start to your cafe life.
