Confessions

I don't understand why I hold back,
Why sometimes I cry and other times I laugh.
I don't understand why I feel full and happy,
But when I cry I feel lost and empty.

I've never flown, so I never really fell.
I've never died (inside), so I haven't seen hell.
I've never left, so I can't return.
I'm looking back, but I have yet to turn.

I don't understand what my "world" expects.
I was made with flaws - I'm not perfect.
I don't understand why I lived in a lie,
When I knew it would multiply.

I've never soared, so I never really fell.
I've never departed this life, so I haven't seen hell.
I've never been missing, so I can't return
I'm glancing behind, but I have yet to turn.

I don't understand why I'm blind to reality,
Why I dream of secluded insanity.
I don't understand why I'm afraid of the untouched,
And why I won't allow myself to grow up.

I've never fallen, because I won't let myself fly.
I've never seen hell, because I've never died (inside).
I will never come back, I will never learn,
That even though I'm looking back, I can't return.

"Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."
