At the start of each day,
I question if I’m OK.
There are days,
I am OK.
There will be days,
I am not OK.
Then there will be days,
I will be OK.
It’s when my brain won’t shut down at day’s end,
I question if I’m OK.
When I thank God,
count my many blessings,
I know,
I am OK.
It’s when I’m left alone,
I ruminate my day,
and over think,
I am not OK.
I try to remain steadfast,
focused, resilient
and remind myself,
I will be OK.
Sometimes,
nothing seems to go right,
I question if I’m OK.
It’s those days,
it takes all my energy,
when I lie and say,
I am OK.
It’s those days,
I need someone
to hear my cry and know,
I am not OK.
Sometimes,
I just need someone by my side,
and reassure me,
I will be OK.
I am here,
today,
in my present,
I question if I’m OK.
I look back,
at yesterday,
to my past and see,
I am OK.
I fear,
the unknowns of my tomorrows,
leaving me feeling,
I am not OK.
I take a deep breath,
remind myself,
with faith and trust,
I will be OK.
Feelings were woven into the fabric of my soul,
even when,
I question if I’m OK.
God granted me to own my feelings,
yet remain humble as,
I am OK.
He reminds me,
I own all my feelings,
and not apologize when,
I am not OK.
With Him by my side,
I know regardless,
where my journey takes me,
I will be OK.
