Troubled Heart
I'd rather be alone than be wrong
A decision I can't be so certain of
To make myself, take responsibility
No one takes that from me but me
The love in my heart is so much
The fears of hurting others, greater
Yet I hurt, slash, give pain to love
I am broken, I am certain of that
I self destruct when goodness arrives
I push away kindness to welcome pain
I survived so far, on my own I did it
This survival is not all I want in life
But it's all that I know from the living
Treading carefully I will find my needs
Maybe the decision will never come
When it does, it will be mine to make
A decision I can't be so certain of
To make myself, take responsibility
No one takes that from me but me
The love in my heart is so much
The fears of hurting others, greater
Yet I hurt, slash, give pain to love
I am broken, I am certain of that
I self destruct when goodness arrives
I push away kindness to welcome pain
I survived so far, on my own I did it
This survival is not all I want in life
But it's all that I know from the living
Treading carefully I will find my needs
Maybe the decision will never come
When it does, it will be mine to make

It takes courage to really look at the inward and express it so honestly.
I liked the "Treading carefully I will find my needs" line because it's so true. We find what we need in our lives when going through so many roads and doors.
Excellent write.
