Let Me Know If It's Okay

Is it okay that I am happy

When, for so long, I've been so sad?

Is it okay to be so reckless

When it drives my parents mad?

Is it okay to be the wrong one

When I should always be right?

Is it okay I'm standing in the sun

Rather than an endless night?

Is it okay that I don't know anymore;

Don't know enough to fight?

Is it okay that I still feel this way;

That I'm somehow not alright?

Is it okay to grieve for the ones I've lost

Their futures stolen now?

Is it okay that I don't do anything;

Don't even remember how?

Is it okay to feel so insecure

All sealed up on the floor?

Is it okay that I don't love you now

As I have once before?

Let me know if it's okay

So I can finally see

A reason that I should stay alive

A reason to be me
