#imnotok - Hello Poetry

When will you look at me. Past my imperfect eyes Past my stomach Past my shoulders Why can't you just look at me Not my face or the mask I put on I want you to look at me Stare at me See me Then you can ask if I am ok

Look at me

When will you look at me. Past my imperfect eyes Past my stomach Past my shoulders Why can't you just look at me Not my face or the mask I put on I want you to look at me Stare at me See me Then you can ask if I am ok

I’m not ok And I’m done letting that break my heart. I’m going to forgive myself first this time. I’m not going to add my disappointment to my situation. I don’t want to add lightning to dark skies anymore. And some days it’s ok to put makeup over it and dance. And I will not let anyone make me feel bad about it. About being pretty and broken. About having a big heart but not enough to keep the beating steady. About wanting your lips as clean up of this mess. And your hands for grounding. For needing the sun and coffee just as much as the moon and my pen. About smiling and breaking at the same time. About breathing and coming back together at the hands of myself again.

Don't you know how some of us feel sometimes? Don't you know what some of us do to ourselves sometimes? No, you don't know, nor would you care Some of cut, cry, try to **** or all three and more to ourselves But even if you knew you would just say aloud or flaws, Criticize our looks, Or beat us to the ground... Because that's what the world thinks of people like me They scoff in disgust of our loves and sexualities They beat us till we suffer from LIVING The one thing they WON'T do is, E N D O U R S U F F E R I N G

I don't want to feel ok, Ok is a lie when I see wars on tv and I just watched children die. Please don't be ok, Please don't let this be ok. Don't let a false sense of security become an excuse for apathy.

Please Don't be Ok

I don't want to feel ok, Ok is a lie when I see wars on tv and I just watched children die. Please don't be ok, Please don't let this be ok. Don't let a false sense of security become an excuse for apathy.
