It’s Okay

It’s okay not to be okay

Don’t have to smile and fake your pain

It is what is

Just be that’s all, just be

People all around telling you this, telling you that

“Chill out, let it go, be positive, blah blah blah”

Why pretend and push away

What is, for it is

So go where it takes you

It needs to be heard

Inside your heart there is a story

Thrashing, screaming, for it needs to get out

it is stifling you, stopping you, you can’t breathe

You’re scared, WAIT damn JUST LISTEN

It’s okay not to be okay
