"Still Not Okay" is an original poem-turned-song exploring the lingering, heavy reality of grief and the difficult journey of mourning a parent. Written in the immediate aftermath of profound loss, this piece is a raw, honest reflection on the struggle to navigate daily life when the world feels forever altered.

It is a reminder that there is no set timeline for healing, and it is perfectly fine to not be okay.

Dedicated to the loving memory of my mother, who bravely fought Sarcoma.
