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 !"
