Positive

If I believed all I'd seen,

I'd feel lonely, so mean,

I'd resent every woman I met,

See me crying each night,

Drenched in panic and spite,

Is this really what I should expect?

I could readily think,

When you tip me a wink,

You're just using my weakness to gain,

You'll then throw me away,

See my pain grow each day,

'Till I'm broken and worthless again.

I've been led to believe,

I'll be cruelly deceived,

Not important enough, for your care,

I'm now doubtful, with fears,

Insecure, shedding tears,

Feeling guilt, that's beyond safe repair.

This is all I can be,

Without friends around me,

Whom I trust will be honest and true,

Then with this I'd accept,

I deserve some respect,

And I'm worthy, right up next to you.
