It’s so damn hard to wear my heart on my sleeve

I’d like to show you who I really am

but I know you’d judge every word

and say that I’m a pathetic excuse for a human being

or that I’m just copying the leading man

You’ll stab it with a knife

and leave me bleeding once again

-


Forever will turn into never

And I’m here living my worst fears

you’re laughing ready to drop the rope

because thats the kind of person you are

-

This is what i secretly hate you

but I hate making enemies more

so I’ll just grin and bear it

grin and bear it

making a learning experience of it

I’ll build my walls higher and stronger

until I don’t have any emotion to share with the world

You’ll stab it with a knife

and leave me bleeding once again

but this time alone and unclothed

And I’m here living my worst fears

because thats the kind of person you are

thats the kind of person that I am

… Just found this and forgot I wrote it the other day. It took me a second to realize that I actually wrote it because sometimes I save lyrics so they’re right there, but I guess I actually wrote this one…

Thanks! This is the first song/poem that I've posted to a website other than my blog.

I've read this over and over at least 5 times. It's beautiful.

Sounds like something I would say to someone. Good job at capturing the emotion.
