Real

Sometimes we don’t know the problem
And our thoughts are hijacked by our brain
It’s okay to be that way
We don’t always need to feel sane

Sometimes we don’t know the answer
And are overwhelmed with confusion
It’s okay to be that way
We don’t always need to have a solution

Sometimes we don’t know ourselves
And are lost without any direction
It’s okay to be that way
We don’t always need introspection

Sometimes we are sad or hurt
And wonder what we did wrong
It’s okay to be that way
We don’t always need to feel strong

Sometimes we don't know what to do
And are scared of life's obscurity
It’s okay to be that way
We don't always need to have security

It's okay to not be okay
To feel however we feel
The problem seems to be
That we feel like we can't be real
