Okay - used to express assent, agreement, or acceptance.

The feeling between "happy" and "horrible"
"Okay."

The response people give when asked "Is everything alright?"
"I'm okay."

Don't be "okay.".
Be sad
Be mad
Be happy
Be angry
Don't be " okay. ".

Don't accept or agree, just cause its easy.
Don't think you don't deserve better.
Don't think you are alone.

You are loved.
You are on a journey.
You will face hardships.
You will struggle.

But you will be better than okay.
You will become strong.

am i ee
each and every moment
some one, some thing
is either coming into
this world
or departing

shall we join in prayer
for those hovering at the edges...

babies not sure they want
to come into this hilariously
convoluted crazy gross
plane of existence

and those hovering at the edges
of leaving it...

strawberry fields
in already @ first streetlamp
the ocean states away
with my broken complacency,
new deserts, mollasses blood
settled in my feet within each footprint
lunar lisping in the night air
augment consolement in me
because i feel empty
eyes swimming in the new view
am trying full length poems instead of 10w's and yeah.

All they see
Is,
The me who knows biology
And science stuff.

All they see
Is,
The me who knows nothing about art
Or humanity.

..the me who's in her teenage years.

I wish they want to see me as more than that, really.

The laughed at me when I told them my ambition,
My dream job:
"I want to be an author."

My dreams and hopes. . .

I just want to see a better world,
Where
Young boys and girls have their chances to speak their minds;
Where their opinions are being considered;
Or at least,
Respected.
I just had to write this when I realized how much of our society don't even take fresh and/or good ideas just because they are "from teens". It really makes me wonder if we (teenagers) are really going to be "tomorrow's leader", like they say it in speeches and ads :/

Let me tell you a story
About a girl and a boy,

He's got a cupid's arrow,
But he plays it like a toy.

The person she trusted was her friend
was setting up another tent.
She could act like she doesn't care,
She could act like she would dare
To look.
But to see him smiling at her best friend,
In a way that a lover would?

It really cuts her through
her root.
Just a little something I had a while back. Just thought I would put it here after a long time lol

Ps: the first two lines aren't mine; they're from a song hihi
