What if you're not okay?
What if today is not your day?
What if instead of conquering the world,
Climbing the mountain,
Pushing through the bad and ugly,
You would rather close the blinds,
Crawl under the covers,
Bury your head,
And not be okay?
You do know it's okay to not be okay,
Right?
You know it's alright to not feel like smiling.
It's alright if you feel the weight of the world is crashing on your shoulders.
And if today all you can do is avoid the question,
Hope nobody asks,
Barely smile,
Hold back tears,
Because today doesn't define tomorrow,
And the bad won't outweigh the good.
You might have a bad day,
Sometimes they may feel like they will never end,
But as long as you continue moving forward,
Taking another step,
No matter how small,
You'll eventually reach okay.
You may not know how far you are from okay,
But what if you are only a couple of feet away?
Look if you can reach out your arm,
Stretch it wide,
And there it is.
What if okay is within reach?
The only way you'll know is if you keep moving forward.
Take a deep breath,
Accept how you feel now,
Exhale and make yourself a promise that no matter what,
No matter how it is right now,
You'll keep moving forward.
