MY MISTAKES

Locked away in my room trapped with my madness
Left alone with my guilty thoughts and memories of sadness

I think back to what I've done wrong
and why most my relationships don't last long

Why I keep to myself
And never worry about anyone else

Why I'm always cautious of the way my friends act
And ready for them to stab me in the back

How I never let a girl near
Because love is something I fear

How I've let my heart grow cold
And how I leave my feelings untold

As I sit with these thoughts going through my mind
I find

My selfishness, anger, and insecurity has destroyed me
And my chance to be truly happy will never be
