When I write.

It'll be okay

Whenever I'm feeling insecure and unsteady
I can feel a strong pair of hands holding on to me.
With slight wink and a lame joke,
And a piece of advice that gives me hope.
His careless smile and bright eyes say,
"Don't you worry, it'll be okay."

Sometimes my parents come and visit me.
They're always aware when I'm feeling uncertainty.
They don't really ask for they know I won't tell
But they always know on what I should rather dwell.
With their casual talk and a hint they say,
"Don't you worry, it'll be okay."

When I need to drop my walls,
Be vulnerable, need a shoulder to cry on,
When I need simply a non judgemental ear,
A reliable friend makes my fears disappear.
With a warm and cosy hug she says,
"Don't you worry, it'll be okay."

The big geatures were never truly impacted,
It's the little things that really counted.
Always made me feel like I belong,
The light of my loved ones was all I needed to get by.
If I'm ever stuck, I know it'll show me the way,
"Don't you worry, it'll be okay."
