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.

Author Notes
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!
