It's Okay

In the end

It will all be okay

If it is not okay

It is not the end

This is a simple little wordplay thought that I appreciated reading. As far as the writing aspect of it, I feel like some stanzas could be added in between those two in order to demonstrate your point. Although it's sometimes nice to be short and sweet with your idea, this poem left me wanting to read more, to understand and see the depth that those two stanzas have the ability to create. A lot could be added here to make your poem more dynamic.

As far as critiques go, this is a really personal thing, but I think that losing the contractions in the second stanza could give your poem more of an impact. For some reason, letting the poem be more... formal makes me take it more seriously, if that makes sense. Like I said, though, this a personal thought. You don't have to take it too seriously.

Overall, thanks for reminding me of this cute little thought. The flip of those phrases to give a different meaning always makes me happy. Keep writing. :)

This is a very simple poem, yet it expresses an incredibly complex and intriguing idea. The tone itself is amazingly multifaceted. Hope, desperation, denial, reassurance, sorrow, and so many more... you've captured them all through these sixteen tiny words. This makes me think of all the books I've read and movies I've seen where I wasn't satisfied with the ending. "If it's not okay / It's not the end" - does that mean I get to decide for myself what happens next? And all those times in those books and movies when, for the characters, it seems like the end, and everything is most definitely not okay. There's still hope, even after death. Excellent work in evoking so many profound thoughts with so few words. Great job!
