Try as I might, I still don't succeed,
In what truly I want, in that which I need.
The harder you try, the harder you fall,
But what happens... when you try not at all?

How will I say what goes in my mind,
When all around me, other people find
Their one and only, and if not, why care,
They just move on, those who dare.

Was I punished, cursed, mocked of?
Will I never taste the sweet smell of love?
Is it forever that I must repeat myself?
Never to understand it, just live on my shelf?

Why will I never take the final step,
The one that will bear me to a lover's lap?
When will I start to do, not just to say?
When will I live, when will that day
Finally come, and with it the courage,
To move on, to act, based on the knowledge.

Because knowledge alone is not enough
To be happy, complete, and to find your love.
What must I do, say or write, what is the thing right,
That I might delight in the light of my love?

I feel like a scout in a land unknown,
Where it is paramount to travel alone,
But there is a toll, and it's wearing me out,
Until I shall fall, fail, falter, pass out;

I don't know how long I can keep it going,
Marching forward, never slowing,
While deep inside, always knowing,
That one misstep, and the game is over,
And at least then, I shall no longer discover,
The cruel jokes the world has yet to offer.

Damn this world that has done me this;
Why must I suffer, when I want only a piece:
From the optional joy that is yet to be had...
I have yet to hear the happy end of a story sad...


השיר הזה, ואחיו (Naked Heart), נכתבו בתחילה למגירה הפרטית,
אפילו לא לבמה. אחרי מחשבה רבה, ושנה של מחשבה לאחר הכתיבה
בערך :) החלטתי לפרסם אותם. מקווה שהתגברתי על מה שמתואר בהם
