I have a story
It's me again
A journey of
The time
Without any personal gain
It's possible to appreciate
Something/Someone
Without seeing
Something
Without tasting
Or responding
In any form

Nature inspires us
Everyday
Making life
Worthwhile

Hopefully
Someday
You will too

Sometimes bad things happen when you let people in:
It’s easy to be fooled by your feelings within
And harder to really see what hides beneath the skin.
Building up walls is simple and hasty
The perfect defense if used with strategy
But after time it won’t be so easy.
People try to break your barrier
The damage makes the threat even scarier
And you run because you know you can no longer carry her.
What’s the point in trying to protect your heart?
When you and everyone will always stay apart
Because your “genius” walls aren’t so smart.
She’ll give up when you keep lying
And you’ll blame her for “not trying”
Cause you now feel like you’re dying.
So stop fighting and watching your own mind
You’d be surprised at what you’d find
When you let her in blind.
Shutting people out may keep you from getting hurt but it will also keep you from feeling love.
