ok

Because the thing about being human is,
If you’re sad but you don’t let yourself cry 

(because you're strong)


If you’re empty and you don’t let yourself feel 
(because you're busy)

And you keep telling everyone everything is good and ok and going well
And smiling


And living
And holding on
And hanging in there


The sad decides to make itself at home.
Decides to look around a little, maybe stay for a while


And without anyone ever knowing 
You realize you’re focusing a whole lot on swimming and breathing




You realize that uncried tears aren’t as forgiving as you thought
You realize your heart is drowning

And you’re not quite sure
what to do. 


And that's ok. 
Because it's ok 
To not be ok.
