Why is it always me?
Tell me.
Always betrayed by the people,
I tend to develop an affection towards.
Tell me.
When I don’t, they call me stone hearted.
And when I do, they call me a fool.
Tell me.
It hurts so much. Why?
Tell me.
It's so sad to even wonder. Why?
Tell me.
I feel like a lost child in the pine wood.
No way to find a way out.
Help me.
The people around me mock me, use me, and then dump me.
They tell me to stay away.
They tell me it's my fault that they are leaving me.
Tell me.
Why is it always me?
The world of adults is so scary.
Why is it always someone whom I trust the most, leaves me?
Tell me, what is it in me?
That pushes people away from me.
Am I so gullible? Or easy to fool?
Or are the people around me too good to talk to?
I am alone, lost in the forest of loneliness.
Tell me, is it my fault?
Smiling to myself, I just ask these questions.
Why is life not simple?
I just look around in the darkness,
Trying to find a way through the woods.
I try to find a way through the mist of hopelessness.
I just smile to myself as I walk around.
