True Things Pt 1

When you're young, all you want is to be accepted, 

as you get older the world turns so much colder. 

You realize nine times out of ten you are rejected, 

leaving the fire of emotion alone to smolder. 

I wish someone had told me these true things, 

before I went and said something; started to believe, 

started dreaming of true love and wedding rings, 

all the hopes I had, oh how I was so naive. 

Days went by, the tears just fell faster and faster, 

Years came and went, barely even slowing down, 

always a smile worn, a smile just like plaster, 

concealing the fact that I would rather frown, 

These days I sit and think about it all, 

and wonder if it was really worth the fall.
