I’M OKAY!

Mary Nichols 1993 (Lima)

Free verse
Don’t feel up to it today.
Just let me let here.
Don’t mind me
I’M OKAY!
Could you please just stay away?
My thoughts are out of control.
God why do I feel this way?
I told them to leave;
When I really wanted them to stay.
Fighting a battle internally.
I’m feeling defeated,
but
I’M OKAY!
