PrintIs that okay? |a poem, sort of

I was taught to smile and please.
Is that okay?
Can't I be upset and cry?
Can't I shake my head and sigh?
If I open my mouth to speak
Is that okay?
Can I yell or whisper, jump up and down?
Can I stamp my feet and frown?
What if I stand still and close my eyes.
Is that okay?
Can I just be quiet and still?
Can I slow my mind and chill?
If I am just me, not someone's model
Is that okay?
Can I feel grouchy and sad?
Is being mad too bad?
If I'm flat emotionally
Is that okay?
Can I just listen without speaking?
Can I just stop critiquing?
Sometimes the sun just won't come out.
Is that okay?
Can I just be with what I feel?
Until I can be upbeat, I'll be real.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

We all have moments in our life like this. Sometimes those closest in our lives come to expect us in a certain role and we fall into it. It becomes a pattern, a habit. Always the nurturer, the one who takes care of everyone else who is troubled and never has anyone to take care of us. Those around us cannot handle it when we rebel and try to shake out of that role. But, sometimes we need to be taken care of too. We deserve it just as much as our loved ones do. We deserve to be crabby and out of sorts too. We deserve to fully utilize the wide range of emotion we were given! Sometimes our loved ones need to be shaken from their lethargy too!
Angel, my dear friend! I will always love you and accept you however you are! Be however you need to be with me!
{{{Angel!}}}
If I could, I would send you the sun, to brighten your day!
Alas, I only have a small beam for you, hopefully it is enough to lift you as you never fail to lift me!
But, if you need to delve down into the depths, I will be there with you too!

It is perfectly fine by me for you to be exactly who you feel like being from moment to moment. I really like it when people are themselves.

It's ok. In fact it's an imperative. Feel better Angel.

Angel... sometimes it can be healthy to explore those feelings. Until you can examine the roots, it will never fully go away. You are not alone in this...
