It's Ok
You know the last time I spoke about my anxiety
Was, Well actually Never unless though it was
Me, a pen and a paper, mmmh it's funny how
Those two things comfort my whole being
Somehow I thought that being depressed
Meant you didn't belong into this world
That it meant you should hide your true self
Because maybe what if you showed to much
And started telling people what you actually
Feel inside? I mean what if they ran away
From you and made you feel uncomfortable?
But you know what? ITS OK!!
It's ok to not be fine
It's ok to be depressed
It's ok to suffer from anxiety but you just
Have to watch out and not fall into the suicide
Trap,because you know it once almost caught
Me too and trust me when I say that once you fall
Right into it there is no backing down so you
Just have to listen to me now and don't be
Scared, don't be scared to tell me about
The thoughts that visit you at night because, they
Visited me too once, don't be scared to tell me
About the days where you felt broken, because
I once felt broken too.
It's ok
It's ok to talk
It's ok to ask for help and yes,yes I know it's hard
But it's the only way for you to run through this
Path.
It's ok to be depressed
What's not ok is letting it leave you oppressed
