It's Gonna Be Okay.

I remember the day when

The world seemed to be too much

Weighing on my shoulders

Waiting to see if I could take it

The damage had been done

I was thrown to the floor

Beaten and broken

I let the moment take over me

I drowned in my misery

Telling myself it was never okay

Until a person came into my life

Told me I was worth it

Made me see the world differently

And she made me love myself

Something I had not yet learned

And what she told me was stuck in my mind

I could never forget it, nor erase it

Because those words helped me to live

It breathed life into me

And I found myself happy once again

I was no longer lost as I used to be

She helped me find my way

And be who I am now,

All because of those words she said to me

So long ago;

“It’s gonna be okay.”
