Not Okay
I am not okay today
So, in the absence of okay,
What else can I be?
I can be gentle
I can be unashamed
I can turn my pain into connection
I can be a student of stillness
I can awake to nature
I can sharpen my empathy
Against the stone of my discomfort
I am not okay
But I am many worthy things
