It's Okay mean, It's not Okay. But it's Okay

- R. Sripriya

“It’s okay,” I said proudly,

while my life updated new problems

like phone notifications.

Heart broke?

It’s okay.

Wallet empty?

Still okay.

Sleep missing?

Very okay.

Somehow we humans

drink tea, laugh loudly,

and continue surviving

with zero energy and full drama.

Maybe “It’s okay”

doesn’t mean everything is fine —

it just means

“Crying tomorrow… today let me manage.”
