I Wish I Could Be Guided Forever

When all of your beliefs
Are lost in a song
Who can you turn to?
Where can you run?
He told you what to believe in
And how to remember and let go
But my reality is not the same as his
So how do I really know?

Someone once told me to hold on
To keep fighting for my life
But everyday day I’m faced
With millions of wrongs and not rights
I hear the voice of a generation singing again
Telling me hold on for my dear life
If he can do it why can’t I
Maybe he was stronger; maybe he learned how to cry

In the same vain, I was told
That everything was so hard
But I have to go out make something of myself
How can I when I’m afraid of it all?
And where would I even start?
I have never ever felt like going down
But that’s a surprise that wouldn’t surprise
Who knows what I would do with a thought and gun by my side

Naked in the mirror
I look at all of my fears
What am I supposed to see?
Who am I supposed to believe?
Only I can know
No else will ever really understand
Will she understand the thoughts of this man?
Will there ever really be a she?

This is a very deep piece and I only hope this is a little bit of make believe and not how you are totally feeling, especially the part about the gun. Things sometimes seem alot worst than what they really are and I'm sure there is someone special out there it just takes time.
Hugs to from me

I concur with Tracie ... writing can be such a wonderful outlet for our emotions, and if this depth is from your heart, please share this with a close friend, family member or counsellor, for there is so much to look forward to.  Others can understand and help you through this pain ... please take care ...

Best wishes and prayers,
/Kit
