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
