it's okay to grieve over an opportunity that you missed,
the course that you really want but ended only as a wish,
a friendship that suddenly slipped away,
and a smile that's never meant to stay.

it's okay to feel upset over a plan that's been cancelled last minute,
or a dress that you don't feel like you look good as you're wearing it,
or the way things didn't end as what you expected,
or when your research title got rejected.

it's okay to cry because of unknown reasons,
cry if you're going through a rough season,
cry if life gets heavy like the pouring rain,
cry to God and lift up to Him all your pain,
and at the end of the day, i promise, it will be okay.
