My Heart, Listen

Beep, beep, beep, beep Hello? My heart… I want you to listen I need you to open up your ears Open up your ears Stop!Giving access to people whose only mission is to hurt you Stop having to choose between lesser of evils Choose between greater of goods You see, you choose those that will hurt a little less painfully So, I want you to know, there’s nothing wrong with loving hopefully But sometimes you have to love yourself first, fully Before anyone else can My heart, listen Let go of envy, cos you are one in eight billion Let go of insecurity, cos you are enough Let go of expectation, cos he’s done nothing but disappoint you My heart, listen Pain may be inevitable but remember, Suffering is optional So, you chose. Goodbye!
