Not Being OK

 I’m not OK, you’re not OK — and that’s OK. ~ William Sloane Coffin

Do you feel guilty, not being Okay?
Does it seem you’ve let the world down
when you’re down?
Does it seem sometimes
you let the world down
when a smile feels fake,
when the world doesn’t suit you?
Does God think you’re not okay?
Does God love you anyway?
If you ask someone who loves you
would they vote you’re not okay
even when you feel that way?
Does God accept you when you don’t?
Does God disagree with your assessment?
Is there truth in “I’m not OK, you’re not OK — and that’s OK?”
May I hug you?
