I Still Don't Understand

Confidence is a mystery

Not something ever obtained

But to be happy in imperfection

Now that's to side-step pain



I'm not afraid of fault



I wish to see how I am perceived

By all that I truly know

To see my image through different eyes

And the apologies that I owe



I would act differntly



Could I ever trust in love now

It always sifts away

I've never seen it triumph

For it's a lie that you must pay



I've already learned the lesson



Completion was in a person

Who saw my faults the same

It put me in such comfort

I felt safe within that place



In the end I'm nothing but me



Treated like I'm precious

Something said all the time

But I'm astounded at your satisfaction

With your less-than perfect find



I've embraced this knowledge



Afraid of being dropped

Not being what you think

Yet I will remain here undoubtably

As our fates are somehow linked



But I still don't understand

Words that go past the mind, straight to the heart... the mind may not understand, but surely the heart does. Lovely work.
