Refusing the Heartbreak

A Poem on Fighting Rumination

By D351Published 2 years ago • 1 min read

I'm not just going to be okay

I am okay

I am recovering from the remnants

Of having not been

Okay

But I am okay

I am no more alone than I have been before

I have everything I need to survive

There's a lot to want

But I am okay

I can sleep alone

I can get through nights

And days

Without intimacy

I am not an island

But the high tide will not kill me

I am okay

I really liked this. Sometimes all you can say is "I am okay."
