Insecurities
If you look me in my eyes do I seem unsure of me
Is it all of my insecurities
Even as I cleanse myself I never reach purity
As I look into your eyes I see a distorted me
Just a part of me
So I partially
Give you all of me
As you steal my heart from me
I know it’s easy to love me but it’s not hard to leave
Pardon me
But everyone I ever loved parted seas
So know I’m on this Island with only one thought to think
Finally you found me
Before this pain could drown me
But even now as I am safe and soundly
I feel the weight around me
I have one question to ask
Why does it have to hurt so bad?
Why do I night after night relive my past?
I wish I could forget my past
But not until I forgive my past
I just want to move forward, but I’m forced to look back
I know I’m on the right train so what do I do when the course is off track
More; of course I want that
But I never thought I had a choice so how do I choose breath.
