Mr. Heartbreak

I don’t wanna get over, I just wanna know

When is a good time to say “I’m sorry”?
Have you spoiled goodness beyond repair
Eating baked cakes before feeding yourself
Ruining your appetite for proper nourishment

How do you stop caring with a heart so large?
Where is the switch that activates apathy
To drop your concern at a moment’s notice

When does confidence cross over to arrogance?
When does belief in self go too far
Is it in the beholder’s eye, or a part of you
Does scaling back denote the sacrifice of self

What do you do when desire outweighs preparation?
Knowing what you want, but knowing you’re not ready
Is it a lie to allow your desires to live?

Why consider stopping when going feels so good?
The fire inside making you want to be more
Only to hear that you need to pump your brakes
How long can you “do you” at the expense of others
Caught in the grips of power and the future

How can you consider patience on a hot streak?
With all going well, suddenly told to stop cold
When the bulk of facts present, you wanna go
Are these healthy comments detractions or prophecies

How hard does one go to be “right”?
How far to go just to see the other side concede
Is being right worth it or diminishing returns
A monument to nothing but “you were right”
Does making others submit have a price tag

I’m not criticizing. I just wanna know.
