A reverse poem

I am fine.

by Jessica Wheeler

Poem of the Month Contest Winner 
 
I am fine.

Dismiss the rumors that proclaim,

I am falling apart.

Please know

unfounded, are these assertions.

I shout my echoed joy;

Demonstrating that I am

well.

I am not

pleading for help.

Hear me now

regard it as untrue.

This glowing smile I wear,

the reality.

It is not

but a mere facade.

I tell you,

I am fine.

This is my first attempt at this form, which I believe is known as a "reverse poem." Reverse poetry is intended to convey one meaning when read from top to bottom, and a different or opposite meaning when read from bottom to top.
If anyone happens to know a different name for this form please let me know!
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
