Tell Me

Tell me, Is it okay to be sad? To feel the weight of the world on your chest, To let the tears flow down your face, To sink into the depths of your own unrest. Is it okay to be sad, my dear? To mourn the loss of what once was, To feel the ache of a broken heart, To find solace in darkness instead of applause. We live in a world that's always smiling, Where happiness is the ultimate prize, Where sadness is deemed as weakness, And we're told to keep up the disguise. But sadness is a natural emotion, It's a part of the human condition, It's a way of processing pain, And coming out of the other side with conviction. So, tell me, is it okay to be sad? To take a step back and just breathe, To acknowledge the hurt that you feel, And start on a path to relief. For in the darkness, there is light, And in the sadness, there is strength, It's okay to feel what you feel, And to give yourself permission to mend. So, my dear, don't be afraid to feel, To let the sadness wash over you, For in the end, it's okay to be sad, And it's okay to find your way through.
