Not Okay - A Poignant Poem by Jarod K. Anderson 🙏🏼
--
I am not okay.
So, in the absence of okay,
what else can I be?
I can be gentle.
I can be unashamed.
I can turn my pain into connection.
I can be a student of stillness.
I can be awake to nature.
I can sharpen my empathy
against the stone of my discomfort.
I am not okay,
but I am many worthy things.
