She's Ok

photo by me, southwest, mn

in the dark of day, 

she's ok, she's ok

in the midst of confusion and wandering,

she's ok, she's ok

in her time of exhaustion and pain,

she's ok, she's ok

when she's abandoned and no one is listening,

she's ok, she's ok

in her moments of weakness, 

she's ok, she's ok

if she's full of fear,

she's ok, she's ok

in sickness and trials,

she's ok, she's ok

in times of apathy,

she's ok, she's ok

in tears, shouting, and meltdowns

she's ok, she's ok

when days are long and saddness follows,

she's ok, she's ok

when she's all alone, or afraid,

she's still ok, she's ok

her feelings or days don't knock her down,

or pick her up,

she is steady, 

with or without those

unreliable things.

she is not thrown off,

she fights for peace,

and security,

and beholds what is true.
