Things I Need to Tell Myself

It is okay to be alone

and it’s okay if you can’t love everybody

It is absolutely okay if you feel sad

or angry

and it is alright if sometimes

life seems unfair.

It is okay to feel lonely

when you sit by yourself

and wish there was someone by your side

and there is nothing wrong if you can’t do

every damn thing you decide.

It is okay to be stupid sometimes

and make a really bad joke

it is okay if you can’t say every little thing

with a voice that isn’t broke.

It is okay if your shoulders slump

on a day you feel too low

and don’t worry so much about tiny

or big things

or if sometimes you don’t like the flow.

It is okay because you’re still awesome

and you will eventually get up and shine

but it is also okay to let go of things

and just rest for a little while.
