Uncertainty


When does one let go? How do you know who’s your foe? Is it me or is it them, no one really knows? Who is pretending, you or me? Let’s look in history… You say you speak the truth, I hope you know what to do When someone lies to you, do you cut them off, so hard to choose I hit the snooze, have no time to entertain, people who just want fame My life is precious, says a friend of mine, this person says he does not lie He speaks the truth in everything he says, can he be that friend? It’s been years of betrayal, months of pure dishonesty, and now God has shown him to me The emptiness is filling up with something unknown And all that’s flowing thru my mind is he ready for me I’m use to people coming on going as they please Is he real or is he fake, just like the rest who I blame The heart continues to beat whether you are here or not But I’ll open the door if you choose to knock I’m a person who gives chances and my doors will remain open Keeping my mind so focused No promises or guarantees, your word is the creed In my heart, I thought I would never believe People are so tricky, like snakes in the grass If I found out, in the end, watch me walk pass Don’t dare to stop me to explain Cause my soul would have already changed
