*Is it okay? If I sit in the corner of the room And let myself suffer While you shine out there In your spotlight Is it okay? If everything that comes aroud Leaves me scared and drowning While you put yourself out there With such decency Is it okay? If I refuse to speak If I refuse to answer While you climb the ladder Taking you where you belong Is it okay? If I am unable to do what I should If I fail everytime I try While you fight your battles Making it look so easy Is it okay? If I am not like you If I am not like ANY of you While you're like the rest of them Self-assured, Bold, Able to do as you're told?*

What if it's not okay?
*Is it okay? If I sit in the corner of the room And let myself suffer While you shine out there In your spotlight Is it okay?

I dedicate this to everyone who is insecure to such an extent that they feel different in a bad way -and have to talk themselves out of everything. This is for those who are clumsy and they can't help it. This is for people like me.
