Are You Ok? Yes... Poem by Miss Grace

Are You Ok? Yes...

Rating: 5.0

'Are you okay? '
Am I ok?
I wonder I really do

vines around my throat
dagger In my chest
exhausted to the point
can sleep, can't rest

the indescribable feelings
end as a punch against the wall
life feels like an endless war
me against all

still I wanna be loved
held once like I matter
but I promised I can't let that happen
irrespective of how bad my heart will shatter

cause I'm unfit for human relations
a true monster in the making
don't say I'm not
felt it underneath my skin shaking

so much remains foggy
can't remember my identity true
if I say this will anything change?
does this even affect you?

I sighed as I said with a smile,
'Yes, I'm ok...'

I like how the title and ending of this poem tie everything together. Like Paul Harvey's "The rest of the story." : )

It's good to focus on the flowers more than the weeds and thorns in our gardens!

Although we may feel discouraged about ourselves and our life path it's good to show our best selves to others and even to ourself! : )
