Dear Me, It's Okay

It's okay not to be happy all the time

Or laugh the loudest laugh

It's okay to show sadness at times

'Coz not every time life can make you the happiest one


It's okay not to be pretty

To be head-turner kind of lady

It's okay to look haggard, stress, and ugly

What matters is your heart's beauty


It's okay to be angry at times

When things pisses you off

It only means your patience isn't unlimited

In all their childishness and insensitivity


It's okay to look behind and reminisce the past

Because I know memories are too precious to forget

But sometimes they also need to be let go

Especially if they are caging you and stop you from moving on


It's okay to be alone

Than with the wrong company

Because sometimes being alone doesn't mean you're lonely

It will save you from the people who will just take you for granted


It's okay to cry because you are hurt

It's okay to show weakness

For them to know you are not invincible

Like what they have thought about you


It's okay sometimes to be silent

To say nothing, to react nothing

Because not everyone can understand you

And not every time you will explain yourself to them


It's okay not to be the person everyone would like

What's not okay is to pretend to be someone else

Just to be accepted and to be liked

'Coz your aunthenticity is what makes you wonderful


It's okay not let everyone direct you

It's okay not to always agree and obey 

Because you have your own body, mind, heart, and soul

---you are not a remote, meant to be controlled


It's okay sometimes to follow your heart

Because what dictates the mind 

Isn't always the right thing

Heart knows how to make you happy anyway


It's okay not to live in anyone's expectations

It's okay to be despise for being what you wanted

What matters you know what you want for yourself

And you are courageous enough to face everyone's disapproval


It's okay to be afraid from something

What's not okay is to let it drown you

Fears are there to be overcome

'Coz fears may not be our weakness but our strength


It's okay to be rejected 

It's okay not to be noticed and appreciated

Because eventually

Someone, somewhere will know your worth


It's okay to be wrong at times

It's okay to commit mistakes

Because you are just a human

And humans aren't perfect
