Baby

O Baby,

I don’t know what to say,

How I confuse you so,

I yearn to be independent,

But you don’t know

How much I need you,

I need to be selfish

To fulfill my dreams,

But I keep running back to you,

I ruin your trust in my love,

And I hurt, yet I maintain,

Dear Baby,

I don’t know what to say,

Why do you put up with me?

Why does your love endure?

How is your love so strong?

The only truth I fall on

Is I cannot be without,

When my world comes crashing down,

All I want is to burrow into your arms,

All I need is your love to enclose me,

Your care to support me,

Your affection to distract me,

All I need is you,

My Baby.

Jamend

Why does it always have to be one or the other?

When one is good the other is bad

The second I fix one half of my life

the other sends an unexpected gut punch.

Is it me?

Am I unable to satisfy both?

Can I not balance what is important?

Why does it seem everyone else has the key?

They seem to have it all balanced.

Or is that just a curtain?

Do we all have curtains?

Do I have a curtain as well?

What is it?

Do I intentionally close it?

Or am I just misunderstood?

Is it truthful or deceiving?

Why do we have to hide behind these misauds?

Why do we care what others say?

Why do they dictate what we think?

I say no,

And I try and try and try,

To think purely, to want sincerely,

To act uninfluenced.

But is that truly possible today?

Can people really survive without people

Being backed or inspired?

At first I don’t succeed,

But I will.
