Safe Insecurities and Superficial Dreams

I found this poem that I wrote nearly 2 years ago. It seems I was probably bitter and angry when I wrote it haha. The next poem I post will be happy, I swear :)

She runs around in her own world
Thinking the problems will fade away
But cold and alone, the pain comes back
And steals the joy she thought she had

But joy is found when life is not known
When ends aren't found without a fight
The blueprints aren't completely done
But just have faith in what is known

You keep your mind on your safety
Not knowing that you're acting a fool
There is no joy when all is seen
There's no surprise, there's no hoping

So just keep on, let loose your dreams
Screw it all for bored safety
Assured of outer happiness
You've lost adventure and lost your joy

I can't convince you, soon you'll learn
You've thrown your joy down to the sharks
They're ravished, now they're filled with dreams
So forget me, forget my love

The wolves will find me where I am
I'll meet them out, they'll be surprised
So afraid and so alone
My courage brings life to my eyes

A fire ablaze inside my heart
To do what's right, so unexpected
But love is a risk that none should miss
A fight to end in total bliss

So jump the bridge and leave no tracks
Our demons follow wherever we go
I'm so oppressed, yet so at peace
So in this war I find myself

I trust my mind through emotions
I know reason has perfect rhyme
You're stuck in outer appearances
And think this will reshape your life

Passion and love will fuel my faith
I fight for life and risk my all
"But don't be scared," I tell myself
"You're not alone, you're not alone"

For out there's one who's life is lost
Who will risk it all and follow me
Soon, I hope, you're hand I'll grab
We'll take the wolves all by surprise

Stay there in your whimsical thoughts
They'll never be as real as me
Goodbye to safe insecurities
Goodbye to superficial dreams

I'm romanced by the thought of risk
A dreamer who might lose it all
You say that you're a dreamer too
Your actions tell me otherwise

So prove it not only to me
But to yourself, you're lost, so lost
You're used to boring, average life
So be abnormal, use your mind

Your goal is lost amongst the mass
You're just like every other person
Afraid of risk, of the unknown
And so your life will have no joy

Sweet girl, sweet love, sweet bone of mine
You're lost and so I'm leaving you
Goodbye to safe insecurities
Goodbye to superficial dreams
