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
