That's OK

Remember growing up 
with so much life and a future
reality spoke different
saying all thems were unattainable

this life I live is not the one
I really want to be
but that's the life I have
and that's ok

I allow myself to grief
a little, a little bit
over the losses of the past
I see distress and feel inconsolable

people say am dramatic
and many recommend anti depressants
they conclude my sermon from their world
but that's okay

the dreams we had
the person we were
have become watchwords for the fool
the etce tera of people's talk
that's Ok too

I eventually moved on
I never quenched this life I have
and I don't expect manna from above

you may never admit errs
cos thou art eloquent
with million explanations
keep your words
that's Ok

though I wanna free myself
and dream new dreams
I now know I need to live
in the present and not in-between

thank you, I now see my limitations
and I also see am now free
and for the first time
in a long time
I say '' that's okay''
