My Heart
Tell me what you’re made up of What causes your uncertainty? Why have you chosen ego as a friend? Why do you lay your bed in worry? If I search deep what will I find? Are you as good as I seem to portray? Are there any hidden chambers or secret compartments behind your motives?…

Does anybody really understand? “Trust me I’ve been there” “I can imagine” —But can you really? Nobody understands And I don’t know that I want them to.
