I was asked how I was feeling today
And I answered them by saying ‘I’m o.k.’
But what does ‘I’m ok" really mean to me?
I feel that it’s an answer that’s meant to be.
 
I’ve tried to think about ‘I’m ok’ – in my head
What it actually means when it has been said?
I use it because it is difficult to say how I feel
It helps for me – as my feelings I can conceal.
 
‘I’m o.k.’ means different things for me
Here are some examples that I can see
It may mean I’m happy or feeling sad
It might mean I’m feeling good or really bad.
 
But mostly I use the words because they seem o.k.
They express things that I don’t want to say
Finding other words to say would cause me inner fight
When ‘I’m o.k.’ is sufficient and right.
