(seen at Been There...Still There)

is it okay if i stay in this space
and cry for a while...

is it okay if i don't put on my
happy face for a day...

is it okay if i don't laugh,
don't speak...

is it okay for me just to pray?

is it okay if i've lost my sense of humor,
of direction, of why i'm here at all...

is it okay if i decline the mad pursuit
of getting all that back...
