I'm Okay Now

Just a Little Meh 

Today feels a little quieter,

Like the colours forgot how to shine.

Not dark enough to lose myself,

Just faded for a while. 

My smile still visits, 

Just not as often.

My heart still hopes, 

Even if it whispers instead of sings

  I’ve learned that feelings 

Are more like weather than forever.

Clouds can stay for hours,

But they were never meant to own the sky. 

So i’ll give my self grace.

I’ll rest when i need to,

Laugh when it finds me.

Cry if it needs to be heard. 

Because i know something 

The feeling doesn’t 

It doesn't get the final chapter.

Tomorrow might not be perfect 

The day after may still feel slow 

But somewhere ahead, 

Without me even noticing, 

The light will return.

And when it does, 

I’ll remember that i never stopped moving- 

Even on the days 

When all i could manage 

Was believing i’d get better. 

For now…

It’s okay to simply be, 

Tomorrow is waiting,

And so am i.
