It's okay not to be okay

It's okay to be not okay


Hide it deep inside, it's a secret you must try to keep, people will treat you differently, they will think that you are just weak

You walk around like nothings wrong, no one can bring you down, inside you are broken but you act just like a clown

Hiding behind a painted smile, no one gets to see your tear stained face, you save that for when you're alone but now it's hid without a trace

But it shouldn't be that way, you should be able to openly talk, tell the world you're not ok and hold your head high when you walk

Be able to admit you have bad days, tell the world you cry, tell them of the hurt and pain you're in and tell them the reasons why

Don't crawl in a dark space, you shouldn't be alone, reach out and call a friend, they're right there on your phone

Just open up your heart to them, tell them you're not okay, they will not turn their backs, tell a friend today

Share this secret burden, I think you'll find they'd say, call on me anytime, it's ok not to be ok
