Poem: I’M OKAY

Before Mental Health Awareness Month ends, here’s a new piece I wrote entitled I’M OKAY.

In My Opinion Kindness Affects You

They say kill ‘em with kindness

But gloss over the fact what it does to you

What God has meant for me ain’t necessarily meant for you

Sometimes you damned if you don’t and you damned if you do

Been through too many things

Seen too many things

And people want to marvel at the pain

But you ain’t Shang Chi looking for ten rings

In My Opinion Kindness Affects You

You either lead by example

Or be the example

Wished for positive vibes

And the support is ample

No longer putting the weight of the world

On my shoulders

Nothing more than I can handle

Take a walk in my shoes

Gonna need more than some sandals

Bottom of these soles

Shows the journey of a tired soul

Being better than what I was

The purpose that’s sole

Driven through too many points

Guess it finally took a toll

Take a walk in my shoes

But you couldn’t fit the mold

In My Opinion Kindness Affects You

Just what I think, and what I say

That’s what I mean when someone asks

How are you?

Well, I’M O.K.A.Y.
