On A Journey To The Unknown

0 posted 2001-09-25 11:31 AM


With you, I am always wrong
I never know just what to do
The love I gave wasn't enough
I always tried to give it to you

Each time I tried you pushed me away
Expressing my feelings I wasn't allowed
So I stuffed them way down deep inside
If I didn't feel them, they would not hurt

Now you want me to give them to you
But I can't bring them out from within
I am too afraid of being hurt again
But they are still there like before

Every now and then, they do come up
I quickly stuff back down deep inside
My feelings I learned I had to protect
Because hurting me, you never did care

Fear tells me not to let them out
That I will only be hurt once more
So there I keep them so safe
From anyone who wants to hurt me

I know, I have to protect myself
It's been proven that no other will
To me, this has always been shown
So I will keep them safe and sound

the thoughts of sheltering are common...but if isolated and no one is allowed close enough to hurt you..I fear the loneliness will indeed become a prison keeping you from enjoying life and experiencing true love....

may it get easier and may it get better for you.....
