More Than Okay..

More Than Okay..

A Poem by WanderingJane

I know I swore to you I'd be okay
but okay doesn't always mean something good

Sometimes okay is 
just taking a breath
getting through to the next moment
making it all day
and somehow getting some rest that night

I know I swore to you you'd be okay
please know that okay doesn't always mean happy

Sometimes okay is
keeping your mouth shut even when you want to scream
shedding a few tears now and then
and deciding not to end it all that night

I know life can be hard
and we will all swear that we are okay
but someday I hope we are more

Someday I hope
we wake up happy every morning
struggle to wipe the smile from our faces
and take countless adventures

I pray we don't soon forget our struggles
but that they will fade away
that we can one day say
"I am more than okay"
