It's Personal

What if I could keep my life private?
What would it do to me
to keep it mine alone.
No one else to know
No one else to see
my deepest thoughts
my desires
No one to know me
No one who could read me like a book
flopped open before their eyes
No one to whom I must tell all.
Could I ever do it
Keep it all personal
Keep it all locked inside
What relief would I have
if I had no one
in whom to confide?

I want the best for you

I don't hold onto feelings for all (of) my ex-es
I am not jealous and resentful of (their) future girls
It's just that once they have been mine,
I am protective of them.
I want the best for them.
(If I truly cared for them.)

I glimpsed love today

I have found love today.
not for another,
but for all others.

I glimpsed a purer side of humanity,
just for a second.
Just for a second,
I saw through my hardened shell.

Logical Fit?

I want to talk to you
Only you don't know it...
What ever shall I do?

please get on
if i can talk to you
maybe i can get you off my mind

I have some strange obsession with this boy.
And I am far from understanding it.
But I want to experience him.

Judgement

I do not judge you by your skin color.
I judge you by your character.
I judge you by your actions.
I judge you by the words you use.

You condemn yourself in my eyes
by the look on your face
and the first words out of your mouth.

I don't hate him

I don't hate her for going back to him,
-I'm the one who dropped him.
I don't hate him for taking her back.

I blame him for wanting her,
for knowing what it is she wants of him,
for knowing what she did last time.

I don't hate her.
I despise her with a silent resentment.

The Look in my Eyes

I discredit myself for the way I feel for you.
I feel the look on my face, though.
And I just hope the others in the room
Can't see the look in my eyes.

The way I look at you when you don't see me,
The way I smile when you're around,
I can only hope you don't understand.

I have no real feelings for you,
or so I tell myself,
It's all just a whim and will pass away.

Ranting

some people [infuriate me].

and some times i just need to scream.

but i dont.

because i cant let you know me that well.

no, ill just hide it all.

and you'll never know.

so instead of telling you how i feel.

i am sitting here.

telling everyone else.

and biting my tongue.

so i dont even say to myself.

what i want to scream at you.
