Personal Heartache
by Rebecca L. Farney

Everyone talks of believing in yourself
yet they know deep down inside
all they really care about 
is clothes, cars, and wealth

Will I ever find what I want and need?
Will I ever find a happiness
an emotional calm and peace
that's not based upon lies and greed?

Some say the heart holds more
than all the money in the world could buy.
So who's right, who's wrong?
What is the heart's contents really for?

Is it just for games and fakes?
Is it safe to share what's deep inside
or should I keep it hidden away
so I don't go through yet another heartache?

Do I listen to my heart and risk the pain?
Or do I listen to my mind and never know
a true kind of happiness that life may have in store?
What do I have left to gain?
