Okay
Don’t worry, I am okay
A rainbow comes after a storm
at least i think and pray
cause this storm is hail on me
The pain is rough
and heavy and sharp
but i am tough
my parents say at least
as the moisture travels down my cheek
I wonder if I really am
or if i’m truly just weak
on the battlefield of emotion
I am okay though
with knives sticking out of me
of everything i cant let go
of the trauma and the pain
the rainbow is still not here
i have been waiting my whole life
everything is now a fear
my mind is full of tears
I am okay i think
with a pressure on my chest
and the pain in every blink
my heart beats and beats
sometimes i wish it would stop
as everything becomes too much
the agony a gift shop
with only itself to give
I am okay i guess
Everything has become numb
and i must confess
i feel like an appendix
A part not needed but still there
as everything turns blank
and i’ve lost all care
for every thing
too much is now nought
yet somehow i can barely walk
so i lay shot
and look to find colors
for a rainbow is there
i want to feel joy
but i’ve fallen down stairs
so ill wait to disappear
I am not okay

This poem is straight from my heart, my emotions, my experience. It is about trying to stay strong but slowly realized that you actually aren't okay and what that is like. I love this poem because of its relatability, as well as its strong message.
