I'M NOT OKAY

I'M NOT OKAY

I’m not okay
Day to day different goals
So different plays
Trying seem useless when shit always gets in the way
Focusing is a task, when all im thinking bout is that weed on the tray
Yes I say i'm fine
But i'm lyin
Trying to run a race against time
Losing, still feeling left behind
Everybody has their own path
But where the fuck is mine
I’m not okay
But I keep my head up anyway
Continue to pray
When I lay, and before I wake
But it’s these demons I can’t seem to shake
Sticking with me, even when everybody flakes
Through strength still being able to find positivity
I’m not okay now but I will be.

Powerful images. 

I like how the poem begins: 

I’m not okay

Favorite part: 

Everybody has their own path
But where the fuck is mine
I’m not okay

Has a great ending: 
I’m not okay now but I will be.

Good job!

Happy Holidays from Newark, Ohio
