It's OKAAAY!!! (participation piece)

Be yourself even if no one else makes you feel free to do so. Stay true to you.

Let's try something different here.

You all have the opportunity to participate in this poem if it suits you, so,
Feel free to join in if you feel inspired.

When you hear,
"if people don't like me",

Everyone in the audiences respond with saying:

"It's OKAAAY!!!"

Whether you're reading, listening, or just feeling the vibes,

When you hear:
If people don't like me,
Respond with gusto,
like you mean it,
Because it's ok,
ya kno whad I mean?

It's OKAAAY!!!

Yes!
Let's practice one more time!

Exude so we can hear the conviction!
Show your confidence, support, and depiction
reassuring all in this predicament
Seeking pure jurisdiction

Because
If people don't like meeeeee
(Audiences respond)- It's OKAAAY

And
If people don't like me,
(Audiences respond)- It's OKAAAY

If people don't like you,
(Audiences respond)- It's OKAAAY

Alright, that was good,
even if you just read it in your head
Thanks for being here, reading, listening, feeling
Your presence and participatin' are deeply appreciated!

Let's get started here and now.

Welllll
if people don't like me,
(Audiences respond)- It's OKAAAY

I'm going to write about them anyway
No matter what they say
Whether it's hurtful, deceitful, and mean
Or beautiful and serene

All of it is part of my sceeeenery
Choosing my words carefully
To help me create photography
My imagination is deep,
Thoughts rolling up and down the hills and valleys
Of my gyrus and sulci
Thoughts and words creep
Subconsciously,
they even seep
Sometimes
quite untamed and vain
Creating pictures with the alphabet specifically organized in your brain

I don't need you
I just feel bad that you don't have people like me
In your life
Be
Cause you're right to stay away
If you only know how to
Talk badly,
About me
You see,
I make friends that are there for me unconditionally
and I am there equally,
Loyally

I conceptualize that your jealousy is fed by your insecurities
To have more confidence and share your true talents, skills and beauty
Through your undiscovered abilities

But it's not what
we see
It's what's inside of you
that has to be real.
I'm confident that I am rich with music, love, soul and poetry
and that's why
it's okaaaaayy

if people don't like me

If people don't like me,

***Audiences say it one more time if you're feelin' it- all together now!
It's OKAAAY!!!

Yes, it's ok if they don't like me
for what they hear or see,
even if the made up lies are so unreal and difficult to unsee
The concept of deceit,
Seems surreal
and
meandering to me


Their heart is incomplete
Left with a hole
Feeling emptied and left empty
To share the misery,
others, they empty
There's no one to turn to,
but mole,
themselves
If you're resonating with dem kinda folk,
Ya may want ta take a look in the mirror
And see who you are
And how you want to be
To love your SELVES
First
Because when you put yourself last
You stay craving in a thirst

So even when people don't like me,
I'm going to be there for them unconditionally
To show them what true love and light is
when the candle of freedom is
ignited
I'll never again stoop down to their level
and do what
they did..
I'll keep my self respect and dignity in check
As i walk away from you with integrity
Bet
And keep the love i care to share with others
to my self
When you choose to disrespect
I silently turn around
While I walk away and say
inside my head

Well, if people don't like me,
It's OKAAAY!!!!


So
If people don't like me!
"It's OKAAAY!!!"

I am proudly going to be authentically me anyway

So,
If people don't like you?
Whatcha gonna say?

(Audiences say it if you're feelin loud n proud!!!)-

It's OKAAAY!!!


Thank you 😊 🙏 💓

Remember, love your SELF first!

Namaskar
