Okay Poem by Anne Unknown

People ask if I'm okay,
I smile and say 'I'm fine',
they ask if I'm sure so I rephrase,
'I will be okay',
they nod their heads and say 'Good'.

I walk with more confidence,
I don't cringe when someone speaks my name,
I don't shudder when a person hugs me,
I almost feel....okay.

I see a bit of life,
through the darkness,
I try to concentrate on that light,
And keep on walking,
around the hard obstacles that life throws at me,
I am okay.
