You're Okay

You’re okay, 

You're okay

You're okay

I repeat this to myself 

It seems like every second 

of every day

I rarely let my demons be seen

Because what a scene that would be

They tear at me from the inside

Until i feel raw and exposed

I don’t know when this all began

The pain seeped in at a young age

Staining all the good memories

With ones I now disdain

I hold the broken pieces in my hands

Until they  pierce my fingertips

For one brief moment, there is a reprieve

The physical pain seems to fit

It takes my mind off of what i feel inward

And catapults me into the present

I repeat these same three words

Over and over again

You’ll be okay

You’ll be okay

You’ll be okay 

I’m not young anymore

Not quite as  naive

So i know it's not how life works

When i say i just want to leave

As if it was a room i could walk out of

It is not something hard to understand

To leave would mean breaking the hearts of my loved ones

At least that i understand

If this pit could leave my stomach

Maybe I’d find my wings

But instead, i find the courage

To say these words

They are my song to sing

So i sing them every day

I hope I’ll eventually like the tune

They’ll play in my head as a melody

You'll be okay

You’ll be okay

You are okay

Regardless of whatever we go through. Each day we get up and say you're okay to ourselves and move on. You potrait it very well.

Thank you for the kind review. It makes me feel less alone to know others feel the same way.
