Just Okay

by Lhasa Love

I've been better

And worse, quite honestly

I am so tired. And unmotivated. But mostly depressed, you see

I am okay. I smile, I laugh, I have friends. But I don't have stability. 

I am not going to be okay forever. Maybe I will freak out in the next minute, 

year, event, emotion. I am scared. I don't know how to live. 

But right now I don't have to think about that. 

I just have to be okay.
