Is it okay to allow myself permission to be human?
Is it okay
To feel a little bit down to have a bad day
To experience discomfort jealousy and pain
To hide from the sunshine and stay in the rain
It is alright
To sometimes sit on a bench and not constantly fight
The negativity and instead embrace the sadness
Abandon sanity and explore the madness
Why do I try
To obsessively reach for the sky
To never look bad to never be wrong
To hide all my weaknesses and always be strong
Maybe it's fine
To not be perfect and always shine
Because if you never stray from your path
You are probably a dead person or a Psychopath
Is it okay (to allow myself permission) to be human?
We do not allow ourselves to be sad and make mistakes
We put on a pretty smile and act all fake
Just to look nice our mental health we sacrifice
As the anger builds up we explode and pay the price
We are ashamed of others and we don't share
Imagining the worst outcome we get scared
By suppressing emotions we become our worst enemy
Our bodies get weaker and our brains lose sanity
Paradoxically, we can only try to heal
When we accept the pain and welcome how we feel
Five minutes of writing or calling a friend
Can put your mind at ease from always trying to pretend
When you are blocking them they become a distraction
So drop your baggage and you're ready to take action
You put the rainbow of emotions in an embrace
They don't control you anymore and it puts you in a better place
Is it okay to allow myself permission to be human?
If you act cry share and give your emotions place
Accept there is pain and give it space
You won't mindlessly react but mindfully act
