they cannot take it away from me
this trust and belief I have
that things will turn for the better

i love my life, and fear it's end

they say fear is good.
makes life interesting
but for me it's eating
me from the inside out

i walk away from my closest friends
i feel so alone
when i know i'm surrounded by many
who love me

i feel angry when i don't want to

i want to be able to laugh
and really meant it

i want to cry and stop
when a hug wraps around me

love is out there
i just can't see it

(i'm sorry. for everyone i love, that i can't show how much i love you)
