People ask me
why I am the way I am
I'm afraid to be happy
because I know it doesn't last
Yet I am happy
I'm a happy person
But I'm also sad
I understand yet am confused
I'm a mass of unsolvable conflictions
I'm afraid to care and afraid to like
Anyone
I'm afraid it will be ripped out of my grasp
The only thing it seems to lead to is heartbreak and sadness
It's a scary thought
But it's true
I don't fear the oblivion of death
I fear life
It's a beautiful and wonderful thing
sometimes
But in other times
it's angry and heart wrenchingly sorrowful
More so
I fear love
no matter how much it is wonderful
I'm always scared of the downfall
Sometimes I wonder
is it really worth it
to love
if you only get hurt in the end
I'm tired of being hurt
It's no ones fault though
It's my own
I fall to fast to hard
I can't help it
I tried to shield my heart
But I let down my guard
It's easy to let some people in
But you never know when they are going to leave footprints behind
I'm floating through life
Rolling with it all
Happy but scared
Because you have to go up
Before you fall down
These may all seem like ramblings
But it helps me think
I need to let it out sometimes
I hate that I would rather feel pain than nothing at all
Yet sometimes it may be better to be numb
I don't know anymore
Hopefully I'll find out
What exactly
I don't know that either
Maybe everything
Maybe nothing
But at least I'll have something
The hope that tomorrow
I will have a better understanding
Than yesterday
