Tell Him He'll be Okay

Tell him he'll be okay
He may not believe you

He is still hurting
But tell him he'll be okay
It may take forever for him to heal

However there is a way forward
He is about to go through a lot
The pain will be hard to bear
He is strong though
He will start to doubt himself
He will give up on his dreams
Everyone will leave him
Still though remind him that

He will be okay

He will go down a bad rabbit hole
He will grow to wonder if life is worth living
He will lose himself
Then find himself doing things
He never thought he'd do

However each scar is a part of a journey
Not just a representation of the hurt
but a representation of overcoming

So with this in mind let him know
That he will be okay

It will take one lonely night
For him to come to his senses
One wild night in which
in the middle of it
He finds himself with people
Yet he feels so alone in that moment

He won't cry or anything
He will smile through everything
But deep down he is breaking
He doesn't know himself anymore

Still though
with all the warmth in your heart
Tell him that he will be okay

Life won't be good to him
He's lose everything
Still though he will gain his resolve
Still though he will eventually get fed up
That's when he'll remember your words:

So please as you break his heart:

Tell him that he will be okay
