Everyone my age,
Seems to be experiencing some great love.
While I push my self away before anyone can get close.
Maybe it has to do with my parents,
How I’ve grown up with them fighting,
And never even heard an I love you.
Or maybe it is being told for years,
You’ll never be pretty or good enough.
Or it might be that I am scared,
I am terrified of getting my heart broken,
So I build up all of these walls.
But what I think is truly the reason is,
The fact I’ve been foolishly in love with someone,
For over a year,
Who I will always be 2nd place to,
And I can’t seem to get over.
