It’s OK.
A poem
It’s OK,
To feel like you’re broken.
It’s OK,
To feel something’s not quite right.
It’s OK to feel lonely.
Angry.
Sad.
Abandoned.
Lost.
It’s OK,
To be tired,
To want to quit the fight.
It’s OK,
If you’re not being yourself,
To be hiding in plain sight.
It’s OK to feel there’s More.
More to you.
More to others.
More to… this.
If you’re struggling,
Or stuck,
Or when there're monsters
Trapped inside.
It’s OK.
It’s really OK.
It’s OK,
Not to be OK.
