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.
