What Hurts To Know


What hurts the most is knowing you would change for someone else All the pain that you've been through, yeah ive felt it all myself Just let me suffer through this, I don't want or need your help Its just the shit that's on my mind, I just keep it to myself You can say that your love is the reason why I do this Cause you helped me realize that my passion is this music And I write it all on paper cause I find it less confusing Your the reason why I started yet you're out here feeling useless Rapping is my passion and that's all I'll ever choose to do I even got a speech that I will recite when I spot you Always talking about fake people when you ain't even true And we've been together way too long for us not to talk it through I want to tell you how I feel but I can't find the words to speak Cause every time I try to talk you never take me seriously Thinking maybe if I rap, you'll think about it differently But it seems the more I try you act like you're not Into me I want to tell you how I feel but I know that shit won't change Cause I'm tryna make sense out of little that remains I got problems with some people I'm not naming any names And I know that its your fault but I'll be glad to take the blame You never held me back all you did was let me down But I guess no matter what I got to learn to hold my ground My motivation keeps me going Its new reasons that I found And every time that we alone there's always nothing to talk about Some people say that without you I'm better off When I get back on my feet or would I stumble and fall They say it doesn't kill you all it does is make you strong But I guess to be strong you got to learn how to move on And you should realize how much I love and care for you But I guess that being together doesn't always make you true And I don't think its going to work cause we problems not just few And when I tell you that I love you I'm not lying, its the truth.

<p>Lovely poem! my favorite line was "<span style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-family: ITCFranklinGothicStd-Book, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">But I guess to be strong you got to learn how to move on" this a powerful and very true statement. Many times attachments to people, concepts and ideas can become a hindrence on where you should be in life. Sometimes the best advice is to just let go of what ever is holding you back no matter the pain.</span></p>
