You're not OK and that's OK

You’re not ok, and it’s ok

Life’s like a roller coaster

Up and down spinning around

With no fix destination

Just a journey of emotions

If you feel like crying

Lighten your load

Shed your sorrow

If you don’t find a shoulder

Bury your head in your elbow

Even without company

The tears will be as salty

In the end, you’ll be alright

---

You’re not ok, and it’s ok

Life’s not a fairy tale

There is no prince charming

If you happen to be alone

Keep yourself company

You know your likes

And your dislikes

You can please yourself

Better than anyone else

You can treat yourself

Better than anyone else

You’ll be alright

You know that’s right

-—

You’re not ok, and it’s ok

Each life has its own recipe

Each life has its own ingredients

Never try to make your own

In someone else’s kitchen

You don’t owe society

No entry in your privacy

Stop trying to fit their dreams

Where they never hear you scream

Stir the pot of your own life

Add all your ingredients

All your own emotions

-—

Give your life

The flavor of you…

You’ll be ok, and that’s ok
