The cause and not the solution


 

I don't wanna be
The problem in peoples lives.
I try to be good and fair to everyone.
And I do it pretty well most of the time.
But it seems like when people try to be happy WITH me it gets all jacked up.
I’m fine being happy alone so everyone needs to stop trying to make me happy with them.
I’ll just hurt everyone I care about if I keep trying to make them happy because they think I’ll make them happy.
I might, but happiness comes and goes and when it’s gone it’s pain that’s left
and I don’t want to be the reason for anyones pain.

I'm a hard working over achiever. I love my family and friends and they're my reason for living. I pretty much dabble in everything. I don't really have a talent, but I have experiences, both good and bad. And that's what I can share with people.
