It's Okay...I guess


The first time you called me that horrible name 

It's okay

The first time you hit me 

It's okay

 

You said I was ugly

It's okay

You isolated me from my friends and family

It's okay

 

It's okay was what I said to you

But I died each time

not because of your words

But because I wasn't strong enough to leave you

 

But its okay

because I eventually did

And that was okay

But you

You were not okay 

And I was okay with that
