The Unexplained


Its hard when your biggest enemy is your own reflection Its hard when you hate yourself for craving protection For someone to relieve you of the constant low Someone to remove the fear of rejection But no one has armour to save me from my mind To save me from feeling disposable inside To stop me saying "why, just why are you you?" "Why cant you care less about the people you do" "How do you love so hard but can be so cold? Why cant soften like other girls do? Just stop feeling so much pain, so much grief So much love, so much fear, it just makes people leave." But why does loving so hard push them away? Why does my passion not make people stay?
