I hear so many stories
From so many voices
Broken promises
Broken dreams
Lives in despair
looking for someone to care
To listen and love
Their problems aren't what they seem
It's hard to read
From lost souls
Forcing their dreams
On those who fall short
Of their expectations
Life is not a picture perfect dream
The perfect match
Isn't always an easy pick
From the patch
It's harder than that
People look to me asking
How was it so easy for you
What can I do
To have what you have
Or feel the way you do
The first mistake is in the
accusations you make
Nothing was easier
Or different for me
It's hard to find that perfect rhyme
Heartbroken and full of despair
Problems with abuse
I couldn't cut loose
Love didn't fall in my lap
I gave up on it
I gave up on finding a person
Who understood me
because I couldn't understand me
The life I led the choices I made
Each bed I layed in was another mistake
Another faceless nameless touch
Acting as if it didn't phase me much
Self-destruction is a word
It's the word that accured to me one night
while taking my typical flight
Boozed out
And lost
I stumbled upon the truths I had buried for so long
Acceptance is another word
I used this word
On a sober night
Knowing nothing good could ever come from my broken youth
Knowing I had to accept what was
and let it go
so I could grow
That is when I began to learn
About true Love
What I'm getting at
What I'm trying to say
Is if the person your with does not add up
And the trials and tribulations
Tell you in your gut
That it is wrong
Listen and stand guard
For this is going to be hard
Not all fights lead to victory
Not all loves last a lifetime
Maybe what your searching for
Is thru another door
