Alright, Love

by Jennifer Lawrence

I'm lost but I'm trying to find my way back
I've never been good with direction
I'm tired of fighting to hide what I lack
These words have no thought or inflection
Is it alright, Love
That I'm scared of myself?
Is it alright, Love
that I feel like someone else?
Is it alright, Love
If the bad side appears?
Is it alright, Love
If I cry useless tears?
I don't have the courage to work out these thoughts
This voice inside me is beginning to shout
I'm always surrounded by haves and have nots
I'm looking to you to find a way out
Is it alright, Love
If I never make sense?
Is it alright, Love
If I curse circumstance?
Is it alright, Love
To get one more chance?
Is it alright, Love
To seek out the distance?
I don't know how high I can build up this wall
or the reason behind why I'm doing it all
But I know without you
I would continue to fall
So, Is it Alright, Love
If I just keep on trying?
Is it alright, Love
if I hesitate deciding?
Is it alright, Love
If I hide from your eyes?
Is it alright, Love
To stop asking
stop asking why?
Is it alright, Love?
Is it alright, Love?
Is it alright?
Love?

Congratulations on poem of the day! I love the simple repetition this poem has; it's very sweet and the subject matter, beautiful. Nicely done.
