Alright

The question I was asked took me a back, not because it was unusual but because I have to ponder such a question, “Are you alright?” I mean in this moment I assumed I was okay… But as I pursued deeper into the moment, it was answered with another question. “Was I?” It was though my feelings began to stretch beyond me like vines spiraling up a familiar yet abandoned house. Pain began to make itself fully aware, tightening my chest as my whole body begun to ache and the answer to my question was clearer than any other answer “No, I am not alright… But I know that this feeling will wither away someday.”

Alright had many meanings.
“No, I am not alright… But I know that this feeling will wither away someday.”
Alright mean, leave me alone or I will fix myself. The above line is true. Old problems will wither away one day. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
