Dear World


To the World,

 

I've been thinking too much,

about the times we've had together.

The love, the hate, the inbetween

just hoping it won't last forever.

The thought makes me Terrified.

For I've worn my heart upon my sleeve

and had it torn to shreds

I've shown the world who I want to be 

and your laugh rings through my head.

I don't want to grow and live 

in this world made of violence,

but I'm not magic, I have nothing to give.

Not even in the slightest.

So tell me what you will say 

When I tell you the "truth"

Cause I have learned there's no "true" way 

You can't just say without proof.
