is it okay

are you proud of the fact
that you exist
like its nothing at all?

like its not a struggle
like its not all lies

is it easier
to pretend
that you're bigger than everything
and smaller than everyone
that you're something invisible
but something that everyone loves
like your life means something
to someone other than yourself
that if you were gone
people would notice
people would care

is it okay
that you're invincible
that you're unbreakable
that you're untouchable
unshakable
when everyone knows
even the smallest of winds
will break you
push you down
kill
you

that the smallest of touches
send you into a heap
of nerves and broken parts
and if a kiss
touched your lips
you'd shatter
and your colour would rub off
as if you were a butterfly
and someone touched your wings

that even the mightiest must fall
but no one said the weakest might win

is it okay
that in real life
you're nothing special at all

are you proud
of your humanity
of your weakness
and your strengths

are you proud
that you exist
like its the hardest thing you've ever done?
