the doubt, the guilt
the pain, the tears
building up in our hearts,
throughout the years.
Our hearts guarded and so scared
alone, independent,
let someone in, do you dare?
what if they hurt you? a voice says
says another - what if they love you instead?
that will never happen!
no, not all hope is dead.
So many thoughts, so confusing
which way do you go?
which voice is right?
how do you know?
the guilt of emotion
the doubt of ourselves
the pain of our past
the memories of tears on our shelves.
we remember the bad, it stays in us for so long
do you even remember some good?
or like the world, has everything gone wrong?
