Appreciation is a hard word for me
There are many who've deserved it
Behind the gestures, a void
Of obligation being forfeited
Why do we ask for trust?
While unsure if we're trustworthy
Each moment after have to practice
to solidify our words to he or she
I plunder myself by ways of commitment
Afraid to back down now
Hoping if the other were in my shoes
They wouldn't give up and let me down
They say it is what it is
Although in the situation at the time
It was, until it became a bad decision
Right before one's eyes
If there is someone that exists
That knows what tomorrow brings
I hope to never meet them
It takes the fun out of surprise
Weakens the strengthening gain
Of a midnight cry
Of course nothing's perfect
I just wish I never knew how to lie.
Don't be ashamed of who Iyou are. Good or bad there's room for growth. Being honest with yourself is the first step of many that lead to a better life for our children. They do not learn from themselves, our actions teach them.
