It’s (Not) Okay
Today, I woke up early and smiled brightly.
I hummed and left my room.
I greeted everyone, but I didn’t get any respond—
It’s okay, I’m used to it, let’s just eat.
My mother yelled when I sat on the chair.
She’s looking at my father,
Referring to his another lover.
I just ate silently while smiling bitterly.
It’s okay, I’m used to it, let’s just be quiet.
This is what happens every time I enter the kitchen.
My mother loves cooking,
And so my Father loves cheating...
I smiled bitterly, once again.
Why does this have to happen?
My parents turned different,
And that’s a bad improvement.
But It’s okay, I’ll be used to it, let’s just forget it.
My father left,
Mother cursed him to death.
She stamped her foot and stood,
As if they weren’t in front of foods.
I quietly cleaned my plate,
and fixed my clip.
It’s okay, I’m used to it, let’s just leave.
When I arrived at school,
I pretend that I’m cool.
I greeted everyone, and they all responded.
At least, this is better than home⏤
The only happy there is my room.
Students walked with me and praised me.
I sighed but gave them a smile.
It’s not okay,
I’m used to it, but It’s not what I dreamt.
My only dream is to return my gem.
Please get my old Daddy back,
I missed my mother making snacks.
I missed my mother’s hug,
I hate to see her sad.
I miss my father’s love,
Please get his old self back.
What I have ever dreamt,
Is to end this bad dream.
I miss laughing with my parents.
Those times we talked ‘til sun ends,
My brokens they used to mend.
I miss my gem.
I miss hugging them.
They made my life complete,
But now, It’s different.
I smiled ⏤ but I'm not happy.
The only thing that makes me happy is my family.
But now, I don’t think they can make me.
Oh! I wish this dream would end!
I badly miss my parents!
Their love is what I only need,
What I only wished.
Tears fell on my cheeks.
I wiped it and smiled so brightly.
I should be strong,
This pain won’t take long.
