All week I have been down <br />Only wishing I could drown <br />In all that tears I've cried. <br />Which is more in the last week <br />Then in my entire life! <br />I was hurt. I was in pain. <br />I felt that my whole world <br />Had come to an end. <br /> <br />My friends were worried <br />And constantly saying <br />That everything was gonna be okay <br />So please stop crying. <br />Though I tried <br />I still cried. <br /> <br />Yesterday, marked a week <br />And now I'm back up on my feet. <br />When I go outside, I can finally see <br />Without tears running down my cheek... <br />The sun still shines high in the sky. <br />The trees still sway in the wind. <br />And at a distance I can see <br />The moon taking a peek <br />From underneath a day's sleep. <br /> <br />My three nephews, <br />All under the age of six, <br />Smile up at me and say <br />Auntie, come play. <br />I smile to myself <br />As I watch them play their games... <br /> <br />I'm going to be okay <br />The pain has eased away. <br />I'm going to be okay <br />The feeling of missing him won't go away. <br />But still I know, <br />I'm going to be okay. <br /> <br />Thursday, May 22,2008<br /><br />Allysyn Bryant<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-okay/
