If I hold off, someday maybe
someone will give me a push

I'm not happy being distracted
by other things
But I've never fought them off

What is this need to torment bliss?

Hope is easier while I'm
willing to wait

I'm not counting on a miracle
Yet hoping that's what I get

If I knew my fear
of abandonment
I'd stop all this

I've mocked the scorn
of all aquaintance
But I'm a hypocrite

Balance is such a chore
I didn't know when I
wasn't supposed to stay
in-between

Does this mean too much?

It's not that hard

It barely concerns me.
