Confusion Sets: Part 2

Me being too optimistic Has been seen as being bad I try to keep the dreams and goals Of the life I used to have Things weren't always easy The paths not always certain At times I felt so queezy But the result was that 'I was learnin.' I've been tormented becuase of the Navy I've been scorned because of school These quote 'faults of mine' have made me The family's thorn and fool Have people really called me these? No, but they sure can show it The experiences that dropped me to my knees Made people say, "Broken heart? Just sew it!" Someone close, and honest, dear Is the hardest thing to find The last one I thought it was really there But has finally left my mind No more of me being used Or having my heart rejected My emotions have been so many times abused But now I'm defending and the arrows have been deflected
