"be the change you wish to see in the world."-Gahndi


if i promise that i mean it,
will you take my words and scream them,
unashamed?
or should I do what I do best,
and keep my heart locked away,
safe behind the walls I’ve carefully built?
and if I said that you will always be the one thing I can’t let go of,
would you take my words and scream them ,unashamed, or would you run and hide?
I’ve put my life into the building of these walls,
and let my once in a lifetimes pass me by.
but my heart knows if I tell you,
that you’re my one and only,
that I’ll never let you go,
you won’t take my words and scream them…
you’ll whisper them back,
and the walls that I’ve so carefully built will fall with every word you say.


The author's comments:
it's inspired by missed opportunities and i hope people will realize to not let their fears,insecurities, or other peoples expectations keep them from following their heart and trusting themselves before something really special passes them by.
