Sometimes all you need is to
isolate yourself from the world's
madness retreat back to a place
where you can recognize yourself
again and take a moment and
start thinking about yourself and only yourself, the decisions
you've made, admit your
mistakes and maybe let go?
It is never easy, but nothing is impossible
Baby steps won't hurt, just trust
these words

My whole life is a battle between heart and mind
And you always send them both
Barrelling in overdrive

Despite the hits my heart has taken
The childlike state hasn't died
The one telling me no one will hurt me
And that everyone can be kind
But i've built a cage around my heart
Barbed wire trying to stamp out feelings of love from the start

And my mind is no more reliable
The things it whispers to me always keeping me in the dark
Fear and sadness keep me rooted to the spot
Always replaying peoples cruel remarks
No end to the horrid thoughts tattooed in my brain

Somehow you've gotten through the barriers my heart has put up
And for some reason you deal with all the demons my mind has ingrained  
My heart wants to believe you when you say that four letter word
How you could love someone who hates herself is an idea my brain can't comprehend
I think it's time I let my heart free once more
And silence my brain screaming "You'll only get hurt!"
Despite the fact that it's only hurting myself
It's time for my mind to be reworked
And now that my heart controls my mouth I can finally say
"I love you too"
7:34 AM and I still love you
Last June, I loved you
Five years later, I'll still love you
& that my dear, is my problem

— The End —
