An Empty Heart

An Empty Heart It takes so little to fill an empty heart But I know, my heart isn’t empty When I feel that I, am misunderstood Please don’t hold, my passions against me Cause I know, my heart isn’t empty I feel alone, unworthy, and shamed Please don’t hold my passions against me When self-doubt, has stolen my name I feel alone, unworthy, and shamed Insecure in the thoughts that I share My self-doubt, has kept me in chains And it seems, that nobody cares Insecure in the thoughts that I share I must break, from this prison, of mind All I ask is respect, understanding at most I need friends that are loving and kind I must break, from this prison, of mind If you ever feel misunderstood Beside you, I’ll stand, holding your hand It takes so little, to fill, an empty heart An empty heart With love © 2017 Jeffrey Spencer
