I fold into you
like rose water love letters
sealed envelope tight,
ever protecting arms keep
my frayed edges from wearing

I pray every night hoping
That God hears me.
Hiding feelings in lines of poems.
Laying awake missing old faces.

Asking my self why I am so broken?.
Why am I not healing?.
Why won't they listen to me?.

My mum's pain didn't stop until
The day she died.
My brothers and sister smoke the
Pain away.

Is it okay not to be okay?.
Is it okay not wear a fake smile?.
Is it okay not to always be strong?.

I remember why I could see the
Beauty in everything.
Now I see nothing and feel nothing.

Everyone hurts everyone crys.
Sometimes it's hard to smile.
There's good days and bad days.
But don't forget it's okay not to
Be okay everyone struggles.
