I ask myself not to expect
anything from anyone
you are all alone
and that is the sole truth
but I expect
and that is when I get hurt.
~
I ask myself not to speak
anything to anyone
don’t open your heart
for people will judge you
but I speak
and that is when I get hurt.
~
I ask myself not to dream
anything, not a single thing
don’t fantasize what
you can never have
but I dream
and that is when I get hurt.
~
I expect. I speak. I dream.
And I get hurt.
