Naivety

When those thoughts appear
And you can't control
The emotions
They tumble through your brain
And you don't understand
How you could be so wrong
How you're always wrong

Where do you get
Those little thoughts
That make you feel bigger
Than you actually are?

Like on a grander scale
You actually matter
That you could possibly
Be an influence in someone's life

And you feel the tears well
But you you sing a happy tune
And you take another shot
To see if that changes the mood

Clingy and controlling
No one needs your help
You don't understand
How everyone has felt

But you sit there
And cling to
The faint possibility
That maybe
Just maybe
Thats not the reality

But you know deep inside
That your words were
Temporary
And your wisdom isn't what
It seems to be
Quite contrary

Emotions are too complex
For someone to handle
Them all
But that doesnt mean your advice
Is helpful to those you think
Might fall

You have to trust
And try to believe
That maybe
Just maybe
Theyre not that naive

Even with experience
Youre not all knowing
Just cause some are blind
Doesn't mean all are unknowing

So even though sad
Don't let those tears fall
Waterworks of pride
Are not worth the bawl

Because honestly
Who cares,
If you've helped
If you've been there or not

When peoples choices
Are their own, it doesn't
Matter where you've been
What you've seen

So just block out those
Feelings, the insecure
The wounded thoughts
Theyre pointless
Won't help you
Can't help you
