It is
okay
to hate pizza
even though your friends
will question your sanity. it is okay to
like fictional characters
more than actual people, even though
sometimes the writing is better
in real life. it
is okay
to paint your room blue and pink
and black and orange and
get your floor messy, even though
your parents will probably not be pleased.
it is okay to have scars on your arms,
even though in summer you feel like you
have to hide them. it is okay to cry
over a two-hundred calorie snack, even though
no one will understand what the matter
is. it is okay to have bad days. it's okay
to be sad. it's okay to have feelings.
if someone hasn't given you permission:
there you go,
i have.
