it's alright
It’s alright It’s alright to not know when your next meal is coming, to be angry yet grateful when someone buys you a gas station hot dog It’s alright to buy that hotdog and wonder if the person you fed is a hustler of hearts while also feeling you didn’t give enough, you wish you could rewind that moment It’s alright to know the history of a people to be sad, hell even enraged about it, the brutality and killing of those people who done it It’s also alright to not completely hate a people who done it, and those who benefited from it - To even extend forgiveness and kindness, and (I don’t want to say it) even love them It’s alright to believe in soulmates and to dream about having one Yet also afraid of losing yourself and the hurt that comes with loving someone It’s alright to behold an aging body in the mirror and cry over wasted years Then smile and say no matter, I have my whole life ahead of me still to create beautiful things It’s alright to want a better body, and to hate the one you're in yet love who you are because of that body It’s alright to train and treat it well, to prioritize every aspect of your health While also not neglecting the enjoyment of other things and fulfilling desires It’s alright to be anxious and scared and even panicked when you lack resources Yet also kept hopeful by those in this world who love you and lift you with daily kindness Wherever you are and whatever you are going through, it’s alright to wear an avalanche of emotions on your face and to feel them erupting like a volcano, to experience the tension of opposing things It’s alright
