It's easier for them to walk away
than it is for them to reach out to me
It's easier for them to look away,
than it is for them to see the depths of my despair
It's easier for them to look through me,
than it is for them to see me
It's easier for them to distance themselfs,
than it is for them to really care
It's easier for them to judge,
than it is for them to understand
It's easier for them to hear,
than it is for them to listen
It's easier for them to label,
than it is to get aquainted
It's easier for them to bask in there joy,
than it is for them to feel my pain
It's wasier for them to bewilder at my mysteries,
than it is for them to probe deeply into the depths of my soul
It's easier for me to look away,
than it is to let them see the feelings betrayed through my eyes
It is easier for me to cry,
than it is for me to talk
It's easier for me to walk alone,
than it is to risk rejection
It's easier for me to push them away,
then it is for me to be held
It's easier for me to distance myself,
than it is to trust that they won't hurt me
It's easier for me to die,
than it is for me to face life's challenges
It's hard for me to smile when I'm hurting
It's hard for me to tell what they won't understand
It's hard for me to reach out when I need help the most
If only you'd really look at me and see who I really am
If only you cared enough to reach out when I push you away
If only you'd hold me, without asking why
If only you'd acknowledge the validity of my feelings
But its the easy roads that are most often taken
And I am left here, alone in that fork in the road of life
