For those who don't always feel like themselves but think they're fine and wonders are they. Some suffer from Depression and PTSD and go through some terrible days. I guess the last verse is where I stood by my husband every day and always will. He has really been doing great with his new treatments.

 

 

I Think I'm Fine
January 26, 2026
By Rose Marie Rideout 


I wake up the same every morning
I wonder what does this day hold
I get dressed and eat breakfast
I think I'm fine, but am I really?

I sit with my coffee, turn on the news
Not too sure of much energy I have

Hours pass, I just sit in my chair
I think I'm fine, but am I really?

I don't want to go through the door

Don't want anyone to visit me today
Not too sure of anything anymore
I think I'm fine, but am I really?

There's a feeling, anxiety building
What makes me feel this, it's not me
I try hard to be happy, to be calm

I think I'm fine, but am I really?

I get aggrevated, quick to be upset
Often hurting the one I love the most
I'm sorry, I know tomorrow's a repeat
I think I'm fine, but am I really?

She loves me and stays by my side
Year after year, she loves me more
I want to be my old self, where do I turn
I think I'm fine, then I ask, am I really?

Ron, I was talking about myself always standing by my husbands side year after year and loving him more and more as he seeks help from his PTSD.

Interesting psychological self-examination. But I'm still trying to fit the last stanza with the rest. I think you may be referring to a female dog…or your alter ego?

While we certainly begin to lose control of our lives as we reach old age, I believe you are referring to menopause that most women can't escape without some irrational behavior that they don't fully understand.

Men have their own, middle age crazy.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
