I am joyful that you have found me Horrified that you do not understand, comprehend what I have to offer we have come together so many times and yet you pretend not to know me I have always been the face in the mirror The one you look so closely at that you do not blink Why is it that you are so fearful when you can see me why do you pretend you cannot hear me We touch each other on the surface and below I cry and you cry with me and you wonder why Why are you so afraid of the other you Why have you shunned the me like a child in the attic Why are you afraid to love yourself Why are you afraid to love Why are you afraid to trust Why are you afraid to admit you do not have the answer to those questions Some things you just do And it's time to be you Love the world so you can feel more than pain
