I can't promise I won't hurt you.

My mouth and my brain don't think about others.

I know it seems like I am making excuses.

My heart doesn't trust people well.

I want to love and be loved as much as you.

My heart is always changing her mind.

I'm always hurting people.

I don't want to hurt anymore then I have to.

I swear I'm not making excuses.

I just don't want to hurt people anymore.

No more excuses I can promise you that.

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.

Another good poem. I sort of have the same issue presented in this piece, so I can relate. Nice work.
