It Will Be Okay

Remember the first time

You left known hands

To be hurtled headlong

Into alien lands

The tears and shrieks

Long wait for it to end

To hide back in the safe cocoon

The familiar warmth of home

The bonds you wove in time

Beautiful friendships coming alive

The fights, the fears, the failures

Little experiences, shared smiles

You grew, and your world blossomed

How lucky you felt as you looked around

In happier times

At this blessing called life

Today you are hurt, wounds raw and deep

Lost, confused, aimless

Endless darkness, empty existence

Life would lose its true essence

With no barriers or heartbreaks

Moments you need to overcome

You have to ride the storm

Before the sun finally shines

Life was never meant to be easy

Do not buckle under the strain

In your moments of despondencyc

Spare a thought, for without you

Some lives would never be the same

Trust this will pass, and rise

You were born with the courage within

Wait one more day, it will be okay
