What about...?

What about truth?
Do we always need to know the truth?
My mind says yes but my heart says no
Sometimes truth means suffering
What if I’m tired of being hurt, can I give up?

And what about trust?
Can I just give it to someone?
Or do I have to protect myself from people?
Why can't everyone just be good?

And what about freedom?
Am I allowed to fly like a bird?
Or should I live like an animal in a cage?
Am I mature enough to be by myself?
I don't know, but I don't want to be left alone

And what about justice?
Do I always have to fight for what I believe in?
Yes. Even if it means feeling pain?
But what if it means being abandoned by everyone I love?
You know, I'm scared of the dark, I'm terrified by what is hiding into the darkness

And what about me?
What if I want to be loved and protected?
What if I want justice, freedom, trust and truth?
Even if it means getting hurt...
I'm lucky there's a place where I will never feel alone and abandoned by everyone

I'm lucky it exists
This is a place where I feel secure
It's like my heaven, my home, my forever happiness
I'm glad it's my paradise
That place is wherever my family is.
