Okay: The finale.

Okay is mine. Okay is yours. Okay is ours. 

Okay is the measure of okayness you have, the okayness you can offer to the world, the okayness you save for yourself. When you want to lose your okay. When you crave for your okay. 

Okay is being lost in echoes at the top of a cliff. Okay is falling in love with a fictional character. Okay is being at loss of words. Okay is the blurring of time when you are with the people you love. Okay is looking back and thinking about what-ifs. Okay is just the flash of hurt when a joke hurts.Okay is making a complete fool of yourself in public. Okay is not understanding something and feeling dumb.Okay is the jealousy at seeing your best friend getting close to someone else. 

But you know what else okay is? Okay is also low self-esteem. Okay is insanity because you know you are okay. Okay is not wanting to be okay. Okay is wanting the fullness of someone else's okay.Okay is pretending to be okay. Okay is the biggest lie in order to hide the biggest truth. " I'm okay." Okay is assurance of being okay at the end of the day. Okay is the pounding of your heart at the beginning of the day. Okay forgiving but not forgetting.

Okay is survival. Okay is hope for survival. Okay is the fight for survival. Okay is fearing death because you want to live to see the completeness of okay. The okay within you is the power you possess, the power that may not heal wounds but sure dresses them. The power that may not wipe away tears but will draw strength from them. 

The power to be okay and make it okay, the power to lend okayness even when you don't have much left yourself. Okay?
