That midday

Once a year

Health check up

Placing a patient form into my lap

Asking if I feel depressed

Does not define me

The occasional slip of wondering

And anxious feelings is perfectly acceptable

But do not ask me why I scored a thirty out of fifty

And if I feel like self-harm is the only option.

Because I will joyfully deny.

I am finally more than fine.
