HOW IS ONE TO FEEL?

How is one to feel?

When they don't know if love is real.

What is one to do?

When they don't know if love is true.

How is one to react?

When they don't have all the facts.

How is one to relax?

When all they see is are stories,

Plays,

And acts.

How is one to feel?

When the pain is so strong they don't.

How is one to find love that is real?

When they've been going against the grain so long,

They can't,

Won't.

What is one to do?

When the pain of opening their heart becomes too great.

How is one to know if love is true?

If they got caught up in the traffic,

And arrived a little too,

Late.

How is one to react?

When they feel so open wounded,

So helpless.

How is one to rely on the facts?

When the fact is,

It's all a big mess.

How is one to stay calm and relax?

When they see so much despair and distress.

How is one to deal with all the stories plays and acts?

When all they see are performers rehearsing their lines.

How is one to know where they stand?

When they can't see the ground.

How is one to reach out their hand?

And let someone else lead them around.

How is one to feel?

When they don't know up from down.
