It's Alright

It’s alright if you love me        
It’s alright if you don’t        
-      Tom Petty        
       
It’s alright if you love me        
It’s alright if you don’t        
       
Always packaging myself in a sellable light        
Getting to know myself; acquiring a second sight        
I am perfect in all my imperfections        
Putting all my pieces together, that was sorted into different directions    
Embracing my weaker side, my delicacy        
Reveling in my own hedonistic decadency        
See I can be both timid and on fire        
Accepting these two halves entwined to make a whole, it’s a beat, a heavenly choir        
I am the lamb with the wolf’s grin        
No choice between the two, a yin and yang, a twin        
       
It’s alright if you love me        
It’s alright if you don’t        
it’s alright        
       
Holding the Gods loosely on my tongue        
Opening my legs to fuck while I am still young        
I am me; there is no one who compares        
Reserved and wild, cautiously running when I dare        
Don’t fret, I am becoming whole        
Putting the pieces together of my picked apart soul        
My mind is crazy but my mind is sound        
Giving up the middle ground, I was never there, but I had been waiting, now I am found        
The puzzle pieces I threw to the wind, just to scatter        
Standing here, know me, I am a tangible being made of earthly matter        
       
It’s alright if you love me        
It’s alright if you don’t        
it’s alright        
       
Can you see, wind blowing through me        
Climbing barefoot up my tree        
I am no longer seeking protection        
Looking down from my tree, to jump into a spiritual connection        
I am tame but I am wild        
Trying to choose between the two, since I was a child        
If you can’t see the beauty in my spirit        
Step aside, it's a monster to those who fear it        
My father was a preacher to the sinners’; the unwanted religious sippers        
My mother was a dancer for the God-like teachers, a whore, a stripper        
I always felt I had to make a choice, between the two        
Choosing a half of me, seemed a fate almost too cruel        
I am the wolf        
I am the lamb        
Do you want to comprehend or even understand        
       
It’s alright if you love me        
It’s alright if you don’t        
it’s alright        
       
I want to hold you close show that I can love who you are        
But I also want to run and push you too far    
I want you to come in and sit        
Then open the door, and ask you to exit in a bit        
I want to make love until the middle of the night        
Then fuck till were both feeling alright        
I am love        
I am hate        
I cry        
I smile        
Sometimes I feel loved, sometimes I feel defiled        
I am peace        
I am a storm        
I am a puzzle        
I am an open book        
I am the queen        
and I am the lowly rook        
No longer searching for the middle road, I choose to take a left then a right        
You can follow my footsteps, but keep up, for any moment I am bound for flight        
       
It’s alright if you love me        
It’s alright if you don’t        
It’s alright
