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." |
