I Am About...

I must say there will be times I cry There will be times I feel I must lie Though inside I feel nothing I am about something I am about all that can be possessed I am about the increase , not the decreased I urn for things I know I cannot be Enjoying every moment that I can live Giving out all the love I can give Yet I get hurt so easily Because I give so freely Now I try to guard my heart From every conversations' start Aching for things I cannot say Being places I cannot stay Longing for certainty or death Wanting more than just my breath I want to make a difference To long for my preference I grow in strength every day Learning to listen to what you say I learn by what I feel not what I hear So many people act like they care Yet so many times I gave them my trust That all has come today to be dust How can I trust anyone now? Just tell me how I could trust now I am about all of this I am about a life-long bliss When I am angry I have to shout " This is what I am about !"
