I don’t know what I want so please don’t ask
I’m just a scared soul under this mask
I’m still trying to figure things out
Clueless as to what life is supposed to be about
I have put up walls all around me
Hiding from the changes in reality
It is the only place I feel safe
And not have to hide the pain in my face
Too many ways to get a broken heart
Bad things happen right from the start
I’m Afraid of what’s down the road
I know there’s no prince behind the toad
I’m afraid to be on my own
I don’t want to be alone
I tell myself that I will be strong
But the choices I make are always wrong
I’m just a simple girl
Trying to make it in this world
Hurt from yesterday’s history
And scared from tomorrow’s mystery
I don’t know where I will be 5 years
I don’t want to see the future’s tears
I will just let the days go by
Until I’m ready to up and fly

It is hard when you feel the need to cover your feelings up and smile when you really want to the exact opposite. But in getting to know you I can tell you are a strong person and I think in 5 years things will be going great for you! Tears will be replaced by smiles!

This is really thought provoking. You just
can help but wonder, what will become of your
life. Especially when you have so much pain
and frustration deep inside. So many questions,
doubt, and uncertainty seem to just linger on.
Never forget that you are not alone in this world.
Somewhere out there is someone feeling the same
way that you do, searching for the same answers,
and longing to be accepted. It's just a matter
of time before everything falls into place. Know
in your heart that things will turn around soon
for you my friend! Take care and have a wonderful
day and week ahead!

I can see behind the mask, I am inside the walls. You're not alone. Life is about living only the day you now have and not being fretful about a tomorrow that is promised to no one. Take time out to let things be as God has planned. But when you need a shoulder, you know who to call
Love to you
Joe
