When betrayal had surrounded me, I felt hurt inside and out, When in me my heart was broken And I felt vulnerable again, I loved but I'm still misunderstood, I feel as though when I speak no one listens, I'm quiet because I'm tired of speaking, So I sit as if there is nothing. I don't know if I should be the one to call, I don't know if I should avoid, Should I accept my position or say how I feel? I am still left hurt. I sometimes dream of a perfect life, But I wake up to be grateful for what I'm given. My heart learns and heals, But still has defense walls from hurtful hearts, I hope to make amends and forgive, But let me release anger and sadness first, Because when I talk I want the best of me, Compassion and apologies shall follow. I feel content as both sides are shared, I walk along and inhale the warmth of the fall smell in the cold air, Forgiveness takes time but love shall overcome And my heart shall be whole again as leaves fall, I pray to God to surround me with people that love me, And to help me overcome obstacles forever on.
