Without Knowing

Just when you think it all gets better, you lose it all in one split second.

You try not to believe what people tell you but what if it's really true?

You try so hard to go by what you know but what if the person that told you, never lies?

My heart is filled with confusion and such loss without knowing.

"You try" isn't good enough. "You know" is what gets you to the part of love or hate.

Your hoping for love but even if you "think" you might know, you could be wrong. Without 
knowing.

"Thinking" is the problem these days.

You try to fight for the good in someone but what if there's only bad?

But your stuck. Without knowing...

Mishae, this is really nice... It is so true. I can relate to this completely. It reminds me of whether or not what you think is instinct or just pure anxiety.... I am a person who thinks wayyy too much about things, and it gets me into trouble. Thanks for this lovely poem!! --Katie
