I’m disappointed it’s true
In myself for believing
That I could be anything
But disappointed in you
It used to be my priority
To learn to see with clarity
I should have learned long ago
How dangerous it is to hope
And time again you prove me right
And every day I have to fight
Much harder than before
And every night I go to bed
And think about the day ahead
And wonder how much more?
Sometimes I wish I didn’t see with such precision
That I had everybody else’s blurry vision
And could see the world in the same light
‘Cos I don’t like what I see when I open my eyes
The grin behind the smiles and the truth behind the lies
But I can’t keep them closed all the time
I constantly blame myself
Doubt and question every time
I let it enter my mind
That I could trust someone else
I now see the severity
Of seeing with such clarity
I should have learned long ago
How dangerous it is to hope
And time again you prove me right
And every day I have to fight
Much harder than before
And every night I go to bed
And think about the day ahead
And wonder how much more?
Sometimes I wish I didn’t see with such precision
That I had everybody else’s blurry vision
And could see the world in the same light
‘Cos I don’t like what I see when I open my eyes
The grin behind the smiles and the truth behind the lies
But I can’t keep them closed all the time
Now I know the price of clarity
Is to sacrifice normality
I should have learned long ago
How dangerous it is to hope

- Comment from author about the poem: I am a firm believer in never giving up on anybody, but there comes a time when you have to let people go. You cannot help someone who is not willing to help themselves. This was written when I finally lost faith in someone who had treated me very badly for such a long time, when I had done nothing wrong. I chose to let them live their life on their own and no longer be a part of it, even though it was very difficult for me.

Beautiful lyrics, I wonder whether there is a melody to accompany them.
Thank you Francesco 🙂 Most of the things I write are actually lyrics but since I have no musical talent whatsoever I am resigned to leave them as words! xx
No, you could easily be a songwriter...songwriting IS musical talent...because I am a singer and I could envision myself singing your work...I'm so glad that you have joined our sight,,your writing is amazing...It reminds me om my own in some ways...we are both 3rd decanant Pisceans (my bday is 3/16) ...
Wow, such compliments - thank you a million times over! 😀 I have decided to pursue my writing in the music industry so we will see how far I get 🙂 Thanks so much for your support, I am honoured xx
