It is okay to not have the words
It is okay to leave that message unanswered
to not return that phone call
It is okay to be so fucking sad
it makes your bones melt
It is okay to just stare at that wall
It is okay to weep from your core and
to not feel anything at all
It is okay to let in rage and unfairness
It is okay to scream into a pillow
It is okay to bite a tree
It is okay to hate your body
It is okay to grieve the life you thought you'd have
It is okay to not do those dishes
and sweep that floor
It is okay to feel jealousy
It is okay to isolate
It's all an act of survival
What is not okay
Is to stay in that mode forever
