When you feel like you're being stabbed And the knife twists deeper and and deeper tightening its grip and the tears are flowing flowing faster and faster and they don't seem to end and you're drowning in the darkness of the dark, dark night When your screams become voiceless... When your fingers become numb because you're frozen in fear... And you lose hope... Lose sleep... Lose reason to fight the pain... Lose reason... Lose sight... Of why you ever survived this far... And most importantly... Why you didn't switch it all off... It's because you care, It's because you're stronger than you think, You're beautiful, You're not all those horrible things that people call you, You're not a failure because you keep falling, You're not a ***** up because you screw-things-up YOU ARE HUMAN! You are perfectly imperfect! and now let me tell you the truth that you've been denied of... It's okay to not always be okay It's okay to care too much and be the reason that you get hurt It's okay to lose people, and things you love until you have nobody but yourself left... We where created weak, To find our strengths, And because when you feel like you're drowning and gasping for air all on your own when you finally take the choice to let yourself be the victim of your pain or rise above the waves of your dark dark days And learn how to swim even if you keep drowning if you keep fighting to stay afloat you'll forget the pain And you'll concentrate on the one thing that matters you'll find out that it IS okay to not ALWAYS be OKAY You've just got to be brave.         

It's okay not to be okay
When you feel like you're being stabbed And the knife twists deeper and and deeper tightening its grip and the tears are flowing flowing faster and faster and they don't seem to end and you're drowning in the darkness of the dark, dark night When your screams become voiceless... When your fingers become numb because you're frozen in fear... And you lose hope... Lose sleep... Lose reason to fight the pain... Lose reason... Lose sight... Of why you ever survived this far... And most importantly... Why you didn't switch it all off... It's because you care, It's because you're stronger than you think, You're beautiful, You're not all those horrible things that people call you, You're not a failure because you keep falling, You're not a ***** up because you screw-things-up YOU ARE HUMAN! You are perfectly imperfect! and now let me tell you the truth that you've been denied of... It's okay to not always be okay It's okay to care too much and be the reason that you get hurt It's okay to lose people, and things you love until you have nobody but yourself left... We where created weak, To find our strengths, And because when you feel like you're drowning and gasping for air all on your own when you finally take the choice to let yourself be the victim of your pain or rise above the waves of your dark dark days And learn how to swim even if you keep drowning if you keep fighting to stay afloat you'll forget the pain And you'll concentrate on the one thing that matters you'll find out that it IS okay to not ALWAYS be OKAY You've just got to be brave.         
