PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My eyes weren't built to believe until they see

I don't know where my heart is leading me

And, yet my feet move despite the hurt

Of a thousand miles worth of earth

Between who I am and who I need to be

What's with this safety

A cage around a heart impersonating happiness

Ain't no way to be

And, sure as hell, ain't true

I just want to speak truthfully and sincere

Cut away all the bullshit of pride and fear

And, unlearn the cynicism age procures

And, feel innocent again

And, figure out what love is so I can

I want to be exposed and vulnerable

Open to judgement of friend and foe

Cause, protected ain't no way to feel free

And, bars don't let heart's beat

Or let love explode

Come on, love explode
