Lonely But Right
Has everyone really, always done something wrong?
Is there only one way to live?
Will you really just crumble from the insides
From the unemotional help that you give?
Is there only a few moments throughout the whole year
When the sky isn’t falling on you?
You’ll never decide to be near all the love
That you naturally gravitate to.
I’m sorry for the core of your soul
which makes you unhappy and old
I’m sorry that there is never a twinkling of happiness
Uncontrollable laughingness
A sigh and just then you kiss
A little warmth to melt all this cold.
I wish you the smile I’ve seen once or twice
The moments when you acquiesced to be nice
Just to be not quite so passionless
A little less tourniquet
A little less “I insist”
A little more heart that‘s concise.
There’s a world of devotion out there
Where true friendships will safeguard your heart
You’ll never tap into it, learn how to learn from it
If you tell yourself never to start.
You may think that I am naïve
That I gain a lot less then I give
But I’m sleeping quite well at night
My heart and my brain don’t fight
I’ve chosen to stand up and live.
