You Are Okay

You are stronger than you look. Smarter than you think. And braver than you feel . You are not a label. Or even a human. You’re not from here. And any day now you’ll get to go home. Be kind, and giving, expecting nothing in return. Love like it’s you’re last day to. And laugh like you never will again. Your love is big. You have nothing but love. You are a good person. You haven’t been hiding. You haven’t been dying. You’ve simply been alive. You will be alive, for as long as you need to. My throat is burning. My eyes are swollen. Care for people. Sometimes you’ll be the only care they’ll get. Do u ever wonder if you’ll break? Publicly? They’ll think you’re weak. Only the wise few would understand how much you had been hiding to break down like that. You’re strong to show you’re feelings. You’re brave to love me. And wise to accept me. For I could break at any moment. They were right, I am made out of glass. But nevertheless, I am strong, secure, and self righteous. You’ll learn to live if you haven’t already. And once you do, you’ll enjoy it.

Your narrative/prose is beautiful, and it holds power. And yes you are strong. You put all your feelings to poetry, and that is an act of strength. Welcome to PoetrySoup
