It's okay to not be okay
I'm learning to accept this truth
Sometimes life can be this way
And it's not a sign of weakness or lack of youth

You or me, we may not know the reason
For all of these feelings deep inside
But it's alright to feel this way
And although it may feel like it, there's never a need to run and hide

I wanted to be okay, and with time - I found a way, and you will too, you'll be okay
A long way goes a little self-care
It's a journey we all embark on everyday
And I'll learn to let my feelings be shared

We don't need to hide behind a smiling face
It's time to let my true emotions show
I'll share my thoughts, fears, and even every disgrace
And let the people who care help me grow

Asking for help is a sign of strength
Hopefully you'll reach out and trust others to lend a hand
Many people go unhelped for too much of a length
And if you let me, I'll help you find your strength to stand

You might not be okay, but that's normal, that's alright
And gaining courage, it won't be easy
No one said it would, but together, we can make it through whatever plight
And you could help someone else some day, no matter how measly
