# 12: it's okay not to know it's okay

8411

It’s okay not to know it’s okay

i am complete

with no woman’s embrace

i am complete

with no food in my belly

i am incomplete

yet i am whole

i am not my thoughts of separation

i am connected

i am afraid

but i am not my fears

i am sad

but i am happy to be sad

i am lost and alone

but i am here with myself

i am a breath

in the wind of the world,

a leaf floating to the ground

it doesn’t matter where i land

i am in no hurry

i am powerless

i don’t care

i don’t know what i want 

it’s okay not to know

i don’t know what i need

i get what i need

i am not you

i am like you

i am a gift being unwrapped

i am the tape and paper

it’s okay to open

it’s okay to hurt

i am writing these words

i am reading these words

i am warm 

i am compassionate

i go gentle with myself

its okay to have a hard day

a low day, 

a down day,

it’s okay to be lost

i am okay when i am lost

i feel ashamed of myself

it’s okay to feel shame

i feel despair

it’s okay to give up hope

it’s okay to slip and fall

i forgive myself

it’s okay to cry

it’s okay to hide

it’s okay to yell

it’s okay to defend what needs no defending

it’s okay to complain to the sky

it’s okay to ask why

it’s okay not to know

it’s okay not to care

it’s okay to love

it’s okay to leave

it’s okay to love again

it’s okay-
