Don't ask me how I'm doing
'Cause I'll have to lie and say I'm fine
The question lost its meaning
And the answer is merely a sign
That I don't want to talk about it
And you don't really want to know
So you satisfy yourself with my answer
While my truth will never show
'Cause I'll have to lie and say I'm fine
The question lost its meaning
And the answer is merely a sign
That I don't want to talk about it
And you don't really want to know
So you satisfy yourself with my answer
While my truth will never show
Ever have the feeling that the question "how are you doing?" doesn't really ask for an honest answer?
Ever wonder how many things go unsaid if you settle for the initial answer? What it could mean to someone to talk about those things?
Breast cancer is a clear example of something you cannot see on the outside. Did you ever consider that some of the women you see on any given day may have fought, are still fighting or will have to fight this disease? Approximately one in nine will, at some point in their life. Some win, some lose. The consequences can be devastating either way.
There are so many different ways for one to try and make a difference-- why not try every single one of them?

*sigh* That is so true. People usually just ask those sort of questions to make themselves feel better. Sad but true.
