I'm Not Alright

By Sydney Michelle Estelle Pleasants

Inspired by the song I'm Not Alright by Sanctus Real

This was written based on feelings I had a few years ago.

I glanced up to find my friend Lucy looking at me, concern plain in her eyes. "You alright, Stella?" She asked.

I'm not alright. On the inside I feel lost, and broken. I don't know where to go. All I want is to feel loved. Is that such a big thing to ask for?

Everything that I go through leads me to him, but I still have yet to let him help me.

Without my pride I am weak. I lose my ability to keep everything that I feel on the inside, and not on the outside where every one can see.

I want to be open. I want to feel open. But I'm scared. When all my walls are gone, what will I have to hide behind? When there's nothing, what will I cling to?

I want to be close to him. I want him to love me, and I want to love him too, but I'm too scared to admit the truth.

I'm not alright, that's why I need him.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Pwease Weview. It would make me vewy happy(:
