A Little Less Doubt


Everyone claims to care about you

But would anyone care if you disappeared

We all have this selfish idea

That no one cares

And that’s far from the truth

We have people who care for us

We just don’t care for ourselves

So we become confused

Thinking one thing

When it’s actually the other

There’s nothing wrong with doubt

But to an extreme

Cut that shit out

Take a look from the outside

Our side

We care

Maybe we’re not always there

But we are there in other ways

Small examples of affection

Nothing to be ashamed of

We’re human beings in a sense

Unless your like me

Some thing other than human

Unless your someone

Someone who’s scared

Of the world around them

Unless your scared of the people

Who would never hurt you

Living in fear

Dreaming of the times that you were safe

Maybe it’s not to late

I’m still sending flowers to you

I know you love them

So maybe they’ll reach you

Wherever you are

Dreaming of a new tomorrow

I can’t help but to hope

You send me flowers too
