No, I'm Not Okay I would tell you of the nights I lay awake and all the days I throw away- feeling like I'm about to break, pushing life out of the way. No, I'm not okay. Maybe I've taken the long way home too many times for my own good, thinking about wanting to die alone rather than struggle to be understood. No, I'm not feeling like I should. I don't have it in me to start over again. These things never should've been this way- I turn me off and stop remembering when, wanting peace here where I lay, no, I'm not okay... but thanks for asking anyway. |

You emote with the best of 'em! ~ very well, indeedy! ~ I really felt your pain and resignation. It's okay to not be okay ~ but hopefully not for very long. There are those down times along that road to a new and better place. That is to be expected ~ but they sure as hades suck, don't they!?! Keep your on the prize! ~ The life that you have been working towards! You are well on your way! Remember, yer quite the Chick, Dixie! May peace and joy fill you up from head to toe! Linda |

We learn from mistakes that's why we get wise. If we were all perfect then there'd be no prize. It's OK to know that we took the wrong way, there's always tomorrow for that's a new day! No man is an island, nor woman and all. Most of us learn when we hurt from the fall. It's when we are down and abandon all hope. We finally find a new way to cope. For knowing your failures is knowing your strengths. Admitting your down brings a strange recompense. For releasing the past with a stroke of your pen means that you are ready to enjoy life again |
