It Will be Okay

When I say it's going to be alright Don't bother to make something else okay.
I don't mean it becomes magically perfect Not before yourself
overnight. Not if their pain becomes a part of your way
Please keep that in mind. It is not your job, as I may say.
Changes, they start subtle. Okay starts small
And the mind often doesn't like that And it can grow tall
Which is why it seems so hard to settle. Perfection and desire can destroy it all.
Keep an open eye on the tiny things Let the moment be okay
Making life okay works like braiding a string No matter what you want for later
Maybe to start all over again Your now is all you have anyway.
You will have to watch it fall apart
And then, Make a start, make a change where you can
From the end, today.
The zero, the roots Don't become your own hater.
Begin again It won't work the way you imagined
That is the art. But it will find a different way
When you let go of how you force it to be
The less you define your own "okay", Coincidence meets destiny.
The more likely it will come your way.
I hope you understand what I mean!
To heal means taking one for the team.
The team of me , myself and I
Because you're all you have to keep okay in
life
