it's never simple anymore

by becoming whole - Not entered

looking back, i was always so sure
but the sureness is no longer there
i think i can make it, i'll be fine
but now i look for someone who cares
everyone i befriend turns
everything i've ever known is wrong
i fight to be strong, calm
and inside i just want to belong
and once i do, i'm not the same
i can't find myself i the mirror
and i can't bear to see anyone hurt
so love i always will fear
yet everytime i make that claim
the truth is just a lie
and my emotions shine through
and no longer can i deny
i want that love, that i can't have
and everyone thinks i have it great
but looks aren't everything
i want to be able to relate
could i not even like him
maybe that's the case
but everyone says to go for it
but i can't see beyond the face
and the hot tears slide down
as i sadly realize
i see no self
just saddened eyes
