It’s OK to not be OK

It’s ok to no be ok

To be what the world doesn’t want you to be

To not conform to the norms

That society sets upon you

That it dictates

It ok to be yourself

A little broken 

A little damaged

A little bruised

It’s ok to not be ok

To ride life like a roller coaster 

One moment you’re up

And the next you’re down

To ride through the highs and lows

It’s ok that you feel low sometimes

Cause you can’t always stay high

Unless you’re smoking a joint

In that case you’re going to be high

But don’t be scared when you’re low

Ride it out, fight it out

Cause what goes down

Will always bounce back up

So it’s ok to have highs and lows

It’s ok to seek out help

To reach out there 

And grab that hand that reaches you back

It’s ok to admit that you’re not ok

Cause when you admit 

You set yourself free

And let someone in

To help you get out

Seeking help want make you small

Or even less brave or valiant

But seeking help will help you get out

Of the vicious cycle you find yourself in

It ok to fall in love

To risk it all on the one

To let your heart love and be loved

To wear it on your sleeve

To let that one capture your mind

Take conquer your heart and occupy it

It’s ok to want to love and be loved

It may work, it may end

You cannot always have a happy ever after

Your heart may break

But you pick up broken pieces

And you move on

It’s ok to never give up on it

It ok to put your happiness first sometime 

Or for that matter any times

Cause when you’re happy

Others around you will be happy

And you don’t have to make them happy

It’s ok to not seek out their happiness 

Or put their happiness before yours

It’s ok to find what makes you happy and do it

It’s ok to have desires, wants and needs

It’s ok to seek them out and fulfil it

To be bit dirty and grimy 

And not always be a goody-two-shoes

It’s ok to cry sometimes

To let it all out what you’re feeling within

You don’t have to wail out loud

Or beat your chest and tear off your hair

You can do it in your own private space

Where there’s no one to see

Or under the shower or in the rains

Where your tears mixes with streams of water

And gets hidden from yourself and the world

It doesn’t make you less of person if you cry

It’s a way of letting out what you feel

Instead of letting it fester within

It’s ok to be scared sometimes

Cause we can’t always be brave 

Cause the future is unknown 

And you never know what is to come

And if you fear the unknown

Then it’s ok to be scared and wanted to be protected 

Form that what you don’t know

It’s ok be scared

So it’s ok to not be ok

It’s ok to admit that you need help

That you need a friend

It’s ok to wanting to be in love

To putting it all on the line 

It’s ok to want to be happy

To fulfil your desires, wants and needs

It’s ok to cry, to be scared and alone

It doesn’t make you less of a man

It’s ok to not be ok!
