Hey, Friend

​Hey, friend
I just wanted to say
I know it’s been hard
But you’ll be okay

You’re doing your best
That’s all you can do
The fate of the world
Is not up to you

I can see the pain
Weighting you down
As you cry silently
Not making a sound

I see you there
You’re not alone
You don’t have to do this
On your own

It’s okay to admit
You don’t have it all together
And that you need help
Fighting against the weather

I see the storm inside
No, you’re not crazy
That’s how it feels sometimes
Sunflower in a field of daisies

What you feel, it’s okay
You don’t have to hide from me
I’ll sit here with you
And listen to the sea

As the waves crash
On shifting sand
Uncertainty lies
In not knowing where to land

You’re not expected
To have it all figured out
So next time it’s confusing,
Don’t jump into doubt

Maybe it’s okay to pause
Maybe it’s okay to not know
Maybe it’s okay to wait
And take this slow

There’s no timer
On the days of your life
No deadline to figure out
Exactly how to thrive

Each day the sun rises
Is another reminder
To give yourself grace
And learn to be kinder

You’re not perfect
And that’s okay
I wouldn’t want it
Any other way

That’s what makes us human
The fact that we fall
This life is a journey
That’s the best part of all

You’re okay, friend
Things will get better
In the meantime,
Let’s do this together
