I Feel Sorry for You

I feel sorry for you

That your heart's detached

You've mistaken being able to not care as a strength

I wonder of what darkness reflects in your soul

I feel sorry for you

& whatever conditioned you to be this way

Maybe it's your way of protecting yourself

Or you're scared of being vulnerable

I feel sorry for you

& the wall you've built

The one meant to keep it all out

But it's just keeping you in

I feel sorry for you

Whatever you think your sparing yourself from

Closing yourself off

You're wrong

I feel sorry for you

The things that must go through your mind

How often you must have to remind yourself it has to be that way

But it doesn't

I feel sorry for you

& the lost potential to be something great

To feel something great

It has to get lonely

I feel sorry for you

What are you hiding from

Because it's not pain

It's yourself

I feel sorry for you

Because you may not even see it

You've tricked yourself into such a state

To be numb is better than to be hurt right

I feel sorry for you

That's no way to live

If no one can reach you

How could they love you
