It's Okay.


Every phrase to secure a uncomfortable situation, "It's okay."

There's a limit to what you can say.

And that limit is not to lie to your friends when your emotionally hurt, "It's okay."

Or to your family, "How's school?"

And you say, "It's okay."

Don't cover and hide how you feel cause the pain in your chest will damage you for real.

So no, no, no, it's not okay.

Why go and lie that way?

Mentally or phisically no matter what hurts you it's not okay.

Say something!

Damn it! Move your lips!

Speak you god damn mind and bitch!

Don't corner yourself and cry!

Stand up and speak your mind!

Tell them what's been going on.

School was not fun.

You've been embarasses, harrassed, and you don't like it!

There's a reason why a lot of people are saying this.

Because you're not the only one who's been bullied like this.

Let people hear what you have to say,

because "It's okay."
