Held Back

Fighting for love,
Fighting for peace,
Fighting from your last love.

Watching her move forward,
After I stepped back.
When I try to move forward,
I feel held back.

It’s myself that is doing it.
It’s myself that won’t let me go forward.
I know it’s my mind that is holding me back.

I look back to before I met her,
I was just as lonely as I am now

I have problems talking to women. (Thanks mom!)
I have problems not scaring women. (Thanks mom!)
I just need to act “Normal”

Now that I’m getting and suppose to get more help.
Maybe, just maybe.
I will not be alone for the rest of my life.
