Will I ever find a reason?
I don't ever think I will
Love always seems to elude me
Life's fate towards me is unkind
Perhaps I will never find a purpose
Or even a small sliver of happiness
Why am I so hard to love?
Everyone's eyes are hard to meet without a
Reason to find them loving
Why do they always seem mad at me?
I lower my gaze towards my feet.
Lowering my eyes makes me feel safer,
Letting them wander terrifies me.
People find it rude that I never look up
Or even try to smile.
Why can't they realize that
Everything is hard enough as it is without
Really thinking it through?
