Enkay47- im not okay
From ages 8-12, I dealt with a lot of abuse. I never told anyone because I was afraid of being viewed as weak or as less of a man. So instead of telling anyone about it, I escaped with music and poetry. I’m 25 years old now and I finally told my parents about what happened to me. It took me over a DECADE to feel safe enough to talk to my family about what I went through… that’s not okay. I could have saved myself a lot of heartache and suffering if I found the courage to speak up and tell them what I was going through. I’m sharing this song with the world in the hopes to inspire people to tell their stories. If you’ve been through any sort of abuse, SPEAK UP. Tell someone before it’s too late. Growing up, I never heard ANYONE talk about this, especially in hip hop music. If I had heard someone, anyone, open up about their story, it might have inspired me to vocalize what I was going through as a kid. My goal is to help create a world where people feel safe sharing their stories. I’m being vulnerable in an effort to help others feel like they’re not alone. If you’re NOT OKAY, that’s OKAY. Just don’t bottle it up. You’re not alone. ❤️

Lyrics
Growing up
I was m- by someone I trusted
Growing up
I never thought I was nothing
Always wishing I was someone wasn’t
Until the day that I woke up and discovered
That I am amazing
Yesterday I just had a conversation
With someone that inspired me to make this
I told myself I wasn’t gonna create this
I f- hated myself
Every time I looked inside of the mirror like
I was afraid of myself
Because I was different
I didn’t know what to do
Every time that I was talking with somebody new
I felt like they were judging me too
I never learned how to deal with the stress in my life
So I learned to step in the booth
I didn’t know how to deal with these insecurities
I’ve been dealing with this immaturity
Yeah I’ve been looking for the security
I never got as a kid
I was tryna protect my own little brother
From it dealing with all of the s- that I did
Cuz I went through a lot
Yeah, I went through a lot
So I never told anybody
I never showed anybody the scars
I didn’t know where to start
So I’m gonna start from the heart
F- I know this is hard
Right now I’m alone in the dark
Sitting alone in my car
But I wanna help everybody that’s dealing
With this
Like I’m dealing with this
So I made em this song
Feel like there’s no escape
No there’s no escape
Feel like I’m not okay
No I’m not okay
No I’m not okay
And there’s no escape
Feel like there’s no escape
Feel like I’m not okay
No I’m not okay
No I’m not okay
Growing up
I was m- by someone I trusted
Growing up
I never thought I was nothing
Always wishing I was someone I wasn’t
Until the day that I woke up and discovered
That I am amazing
Yesterday I just had a conversation
With someone that inspired me to make this
I told myself I wasn’t gonna create this
Then I thought
About everyone that was dealing with
All of the s- I was dealing with
I was afraid I was gonna be judged
So I never told anyone I was dealing with
Anything
Yeah I’m always energetic
Never been been pathetic
Plus I never put myself first yeah
I guess that I never learned my own self worth
Because I was r-
Yeah I was 8
What was his name
I don’t wanna say
But ever since then I’ve been running away
Or maybe I’m just f- running in place
Regardless
It feels like a weight has been lifted up
Off of my chest
To tell everyone the reason I’m depressed
The reason I’m stressed
I’m taking this off of my bucket list
I’m hoping this helps
Somebody that I’ve never met
Cuz music has got me through a lot
Yeah and I’m willing to make a bet
That it’s gonna help you to
I’m hoping it gets you through
Whatever you’re dealing with
I want you to know
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
Whatever you’re dealing with it’ll be okay
Feel like there’s no escape
No there’s no escape
I was so afraid
I was so afraid
I was so afraid
Feel like there’s no escape
No there’s no escape
It’ll be okay
It’ll be okay
It’ll be okay
Feel like there’s no escape
No there’s no escape
Feel like I’m not okay
No I’m not okay
No I’m not okay
Feel like there’s no escape
No there’s no escape
Feel like I’m not okay
No I’m not okay
No I’m not okay
