Best Okay Poems

Love feels like an illusion;
a mix of lies and the truth.
For it's non-responsive to
the expectations of youth.

Facing doubt and frustration;
bravado falters, then slips.
And yet, in your fantasies,
passion congers eager lips.

Hope courts imagination;
summoning a dreamy smile.
And you find your private place,
where you haven't been for a...

Okay…maybe I am  

Some call me romantic
But I don’t think that’s true
I just write down these feelings 
I have inside for you

I have no formal training
No poetry degree
Just a pen and paper
I keep in front of me

So when I think about you
Which happens all...

The poem you wrote missed my heart
it had no words of emotional chew.

After reading the words, what could I say
you'd said them all but they added up to okay.

When I slithered over the alphabet,
I smelled no phew, grit never stuck, water didn't drip.

And then there...

Okay, Just Drop One In


Okay, just drop one in his cup,
or maybe two or more,
in trembling hands that he holds up,
while begging eyes implore.

Wrapped up in tattered coat, his home,
wherever he may end; 
cast out by fate and all alone...
this cup, his only friend.

Okay, just...

dearest mama

it's been three days now
but it seems a lifetime
I'm sorry it had to be this way
I really am
I can only imagine you on a crescent moon
lost in a crater, yelling at me
mama I'm sorry
a week ago 
I was playing hiding go seeks
and hop scotch...

I’m Okay With You

I’m okay with you.
Doesn’t matter what you think—
Politically or religiously.
I like you even though we disagree.
I like talking to you about music and sports—
About cinema, literature and art.
I respect your opinion on all things.
You are my friend, and as such,
You will always...

I Was Okay Before We Met
By Rick Rucker


I was okay before we met,
Now, the essence of You, I can’t forget,

Back then, I thought myself free,
That it was the way to be,

But it was self-delusion,
Meeting you shattered that illusion!

It simply isn’t fair, 
Alabaster skin, and auburn...

Are you okay?.....

I want you to feel happiness inside out...

Please let me be the one to help you....

All I want for you, is to make you happy

like you do to me.

Seeing you makes me happy, hearing your voice makes me happy....

Simple, little things in life...

It's the hardest thing
I ever had to do
You asked me how I felt
And I lied to you

I can't tell you the truth
So I deal with the pain
But when I am alone
My tears fall like rain

So I said it's alright
And I said I'm okay
But I know...

Okay what do you want to hear?
Do you want to hear flashy words
Or words that speak to you from bottom of my heart?
Sometimes you just have to go with what you feel like doing
Whether to call one on the phone
Or write them a little note
Little...

It’s okay to talk,
About the way you feel,
Just open up,
The pain is real.

There’s people around,
You aren’t alone,
We are happy to talk,
In person or on phone.

Don’t feel so down,
So gloomy and sad,
The good times will come,
The current time is bad.

It’s okay to feel,
To hurt inside,
Just tell...

Try to get out of bed early, try to make your bed. Inhale.  
Your off-white bedsheets haven’t been washed in a month.
Try purchasing a new detergent, one of those that’s petal-scented:
2 in 1 Aroma Boost Spring Daydream Wash.
Try smiling in the mirror; especially 
If...

In the darkest depths of the midnight hour

A tale unfolds of a sould bitter power

A ballad of sadness, anxiety's reign

A battle with demonds that inflict endless pain

In a world of shadows, Where colours fade

Depression whispered in the silent night

Anxiety dances, gripping tight

With a heavy heart...

i dont care who you are
or what you think of me
build me up and break me down
then take your "stuff"* and flee

i hate you 
you know it too
so bring it to my plate
take a point and hold my ground
to not spew all my hate

you were...

I have been angry at the world these days
I think I have just been flustered at my own sins,
so much I have  been storming on the earth. 

I have been cursing at race for existing
been complaining at critics,
been cursing homophobia
been crying over body judging...
