How Are You?

 When someone asks you how you are, 

Is it actually what they mean?

Is it a way to share how they are 

Or perhaps share pleasantries?

When someone asks you how you do

Do they want to hear for real?

How you struggle, want to rant

Cry out loud or simply share?

Or they just want to be polite?

In our "worldness" of being good people 

We pretend to care, listen or sympathise

When in reality, we are too stuck 

With our own issues, to even care.

Then why do you need to ask questions 

Knowing you don't care what they reply?
