I just don't know what to do with myself.....

Viewing the world
through eyes of
an innocent child

So trusting, so open,
to everything and everyone
to want to learn and see
everything just the
way it is...at
face value

Life tends to bring me
the ones who
need the most
desire the most
demand the most

Giving into it
without question
without regard to what
the purpose is
wholeheartedly
perhaps, foolishly
not once thinking

Too quick to please,
to nurture,
to want to help, to love,
to take another's pain away
to make everything all right

At times as naive
as the moth
drawn towards the light
with no idea how badly
it can get burned

When it happens
I am no longer surprised by it
I almost want it
at least It lets me know
I can still feel
