i fear pain. honest.

maybe it’s ‘cause i’m selfish
maybe i could call it self-preservation

‘cause it hurts too much 
and it urks too much
stuck in ideals of church too much
those needy, left in the lurch too much

maybe we could call it a pattern
maybe it comes from darker taverns

cause i’m sure enough 
that we’re deep enough
to know when enough’s enough
find truth by spreading light enough
on the wrong and those troubled
on the needs that grow and double

it’s doesn’t take a sleuth 
to know of confidence, youth 
to know loyalty like Ruth’s
that provides light and guiding Truth

for we give and hold back
we forgive but we lack
we lay down and attack
goods we stack
deeds we track

if we’re honest, we’re scared
