- It is okay to be not okay. - [To: the one who wants to be heard. ]
Hey. listen here.
Look at me.
Hear me clearly.
And hold on to these words-
"It is okay to be not okay."
There will be days
When you lay your head on cloud nine.
But also, there will be days
When you lay torn apart, pretending to be fine.
And on days like that,
Remember to look in the mirror and say-
"It is okay to be not okay."
It is okay to feel down.
It is okay to shut people out.
It is okay if you isolate yourself from things that cause you pain.
It is okay to put yourself before them.
It is okay to drown in self-love.
It is okay if you don't like being around the thoughts in your head.
It is okay to ask for space.
It is okay to express yourself.
It is okay to do what feels right to your gut.
Let this be a call,
Help me normalize things around.
Broke, lost, tired, is everyone today.
Not being able to find energy without caffeine is okay.
Far from slaughtering other's demons
We fear ourselves in our heads.
"Is good", "sees good", "does good"
All sounds good on heaven's resume.
But darling don't forget- you are living today.
Look around no one is perfect.
It is okay to be not okay,
You need not hide it.
Imperfect sounds great to me,
If heaven is not ready,
I am down for it.
I will listen to your words,
Sit beside you under any tree you say.
Let me know the brew you like.
We can also get us some snacks as the sun sets.
We can talk all about the abstract inside.
Break it down and understand ourselves all night.
Broke, lost, tired, Is everyone today.
Every other soul is waiting for the right ear to hear.
Their stories, their songs,
All the words under their beds.
Be that ear if you can
And if not just don't label them like cans.
It is okay to be not okay; chant it if you can't help.
Today we don't look for advice to make things better,
Rather we just want someone to hear and not just listen.
It is okay to be not okay. It is okay to be not okay.
Repeat it until you can recall these words in your own voice.
And if that doesn't work know that I am just a call away.
It might be nice to have someone to remind you
"It is okay to be not okay."
