Before I Disappear

  

How can I ever claim to know of love,

When I still seek to find out what love is?

Where was "the Truth" within "those Answers"

That mislead me as to how I should live?

 

Before I disappear, and there is nothing of me left

Open me on up so that I can "earn" myself.

Teach me humility! Teach me what it means!

Because I've always been too proud to experience

                    gratitude bursting away at my seams.

 

And why cannot I deal with anything that directly affects my life?

Instead of facing reality, I "Second Guess" and look at everything twice.

Before I disappear, and there is nothing of me left,

Open me on up so that I can "See" myself.

 

And how will I know when I'm well enough,

To finally deal with all of my pain?

Will I have to second guess that too:

Or will I automatically "cry out" once again?

 

You see, I'm not ashamed to ask for a little help now,

Only because I know that I'm in need;

So before I disappear, and there is nothing of me left,

Show me what Love is .. Please ..
