Help Me Chase The Shadows Away

What if they were all right?
What if everything that they said was true?
What if I was a fool to believe in simple lies created in my mind?
Could I have overlooked and overturned,
Everything I have ever learned?
What if I wasted all of my emotion on a false belief?
Could I have been such a child,
And believed that the truth was too incomprehensible?
Was I really used?
Did I fall into a spell?
Did I possibly think that it was enough just to stand there,
As me?
That we were really okay?
So maybe I was,
Maybe I wasn't?
I'll never know.
But at least I lived.
At least I breathed.
At least I tried.
And what I had will never fade away like memory.
It will linger always.
So I cannot be mad.
