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
