Am I Ok?
I look in the mirror,
this is all strange.
I feel so different,
peaceful,
happy,
somehow in a better place.
I feel like I should be sad.
I always have been,
so maybe always should be.
Am I really ok?
Is it possible I am lying
to the people I love
and this heart deep?
I seem to smile,
with out wanting to die
and I am starting to wonder why.
I can say that I am alone,
I made myself strong,
no one else must be thanked,
but that would be all wrong.
Am I really ok?
I look around,
maybe I'll find an answer,
and I see my friends,
my family,
my counselors...
and they all lead me to look up.
And I must finally say...
I must be ok.
God has led me to this place,
these people,
new ways,
He has shown me that I am ok.
