It's Ok

Sadness need not be justified

Happiness need not be contained

Anger should not be acted upon

And struggles should not be compared

There are battles that nobody saw

And wars we all secretly fight

So there's no reason not to celebrate

When you're finally feeling alright.

It's okay to praise your small victories

And be proud of what you've achieved

And if you stumble, it won't mean you're worthless

A lost cause, unfixable, or weak

I won't bother with the clichés

Or tell you that everything's alright

I will just say

If you're feeling pathetic

Sadness need not be justified.
