It's Okay to Feel

I can see it in your eyes Even when you look away You keep saying you’re alright But I can hear what you don’t say You’ve gotten good at hiding But I can see through you anyway You can let the silence speak Take a breath and stay awhile Leave the door a little open You don’t need to explain Let the weight fall from your shoulders You can rest here for a while It’s okay to feel You don’t have to hide You can let the tears come You can let them fall tonight It’s okay to hurt It’s okay to cry You were never meant to carry Everything inside It’s okay to feel You don’t have to hide You’ve been holding on so long Some days you’ll barely move Some days you’ll fall apart When the weight becomes too much That doesn’t mean you’re losing It just means you’re human too You can leave the answers waiting Nothing needs to make sense right now Let the walls come down a little There’s no rush to understand Whatever you’ve been carrying You don’t have to carry it alone It’s okay to feel You don’t have to hide You can let the tears come You can let them fall tonight It’s okay to hurt It’s okay to cry You were never meant to carry Everything inside It’s okay to feel You don’t have to hide You don’t have to earn your tears Or justify your fears You don’t have to turn your pain Into words that make it disappear You don’t have to hide to be loved You don’t have to become someone new Nothing about the way you feel Takes away the good in you It’s okay to feel You don’t have to hide Let whatever’s underneath Come gently to the light It’s okay to hurt It’s okay to cry You were never meant to carry Everything inside It’s okay to feel You don’t have to hide You can breathe You can stay You don’t have to change You are good just as you are
