Am I OK?

Not Really

By Natasja RosePublished 4 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

I fail, and see only the loss of my dreams

Not the drive that allowed me to persue them.

***

I am told "You are not good enough to continue"

And I am blind to the success that brought me this far.

***

My vision is filled with those that desire my absence

Blocking out the ones who seek my presence.

***

I experience the struggles and tribulations of life,

So I forget the joys and triumphs that came with them.

***

On the crest of a high wave, one sees the limitless sky.

In a trough between waves, one sees nothing but water.

It's R U OK day, and the answer to that question is not always 'yes'. Sometimes, the best thing you can do to help is to listen without judgement, and show compassion.
