I'm fond of wanting more,

Never had as much as I'd want

Appreciating the haves gets hard,

Cause they remind me of how much I have not.

Funny how the things they adore,

Are things I'm afraid to show

And I don't let them get close,

I'm not the guy they think they know

This isn't the world I was built for

All the things I know are wrong

I care too much, I get hurt

Slowly turning to a Predator

All I've ever had were deserved

Or so it seems,

Cause no one ever loved–

Another, 'cept for selfish reasons

So I get scared when they come close,

With the smiles and compliments

I get scared I'm bout to be used,

And that the compliments were lies

How does one go on living

When life itself,

Is just filled with;

Regrets, Insecurities and Fears
