"Moving Song"

A poem.

I want to be happy
I don’t want to be afraid
I don’t want to run again
I want to walk away

I want to learn my lesson
I want to set things right
I don’t want to hurt no-one
I’m not strong enough for that

I know that I am selfish
I know I have been reckless
I am different now and I
Want to live a life I love

You with your smug smile
I won’t explain myself to you
You do not, cannot own me
And I don’t want to change you

You with your logical answers
Have you ever followed your heart?
Why do you still control me
I only want to make you proud

I live in fear
I want to know certainty
I want to never worry
About food, shelter, money

I’ve known desperation
I’ve been up against the wall
I have wished my life away
I think it’s too late to save me

You with your cold attitude
Did you think for just one second?
I am human, I do break down
I didn’t know it was a crime

You with your kind heart
In my darkest hour I’d wonder
Why you’d use up your faith on me
But God, I thank you for it

I want to be caring
I want to drop my shield
I want to be free, to lighten up
I am ready but I don’t feel able

I want to fix everything
I know that I cannot
I don’t know how to deal with that
I want to learn to love

I’m afraid of myself
I’m afraid of luck and life
I’m afraid of hurting again
I want to try anyway

I want to be happy
I don’t want to be afraid
I don’t want to run again
I want to walk away...
