The Things I Know

July 6th, 2011

Things I had once known
Are no longer what they are
And I may have lost myself
But I don’t think I got too far
Tell me who I am
And I’ll show you who I’m not
But what is the truth
I think I forgot
Everything is changing
I guess I’m not so sure
And things I thought would never change
Aren’t what they were before
But things will never stay
I’ve known this all along
And the only time I questioned that
I found that I was wrong
So I take things as they are
And I’ll take things as they go
Because this is who I am
Because this is what I know

Alone

I have to respect it
You set a boundary
Said you didn’t want to hear
The things that upset me
I thought we were friends
Maybe I was wrong
I try to find my people
But I can only long
I’m alone in this world
I don’t have anyone close
It makes me feel like a burden
When I try to disclose
There’s no one to talk to about my day
What stressed me out or made me smile
And I liked being alone
But that only lasted for a while
Sometimes I need someone
Who I can talk to
Longing for connection
But I let the wrong people through
