Fear knows best.

I'd like to tell you everything,
but words stop me half way,
and tell me not to tell you anything.

It's a fascinating ordeal of going all in,
or simply betting the table min,

A fascinating ordeal
of eating the snack,
or waiting for your full course meal.

What can I say, I really want the powerful notes,
but I fear it may be too much,

I fear I will forget the notes
that played by my ear
as you sent them my way.

I fear for these things
without knowing,
if I can take them both,

I fear not because I don't know better,
but because better is worse,
and the future, inevitable.

But most of all,
I fear because the paths are obvious and marked,
I fear because I know, I will knowingly make the same mistake,
I fear because time isn't right,
And every path I take I have stepped on in the past,

In joy I thought wisdom would bring me peace,
and here I lay, helpless, watching the future go by,
I watch it crumble, and ask for the check,
Dinner's over, and so are we.

The light came through, Your peaceful smile, in truth. The surreal was still at bay But I did not know what my words would convey. I heard the silence pedal, I spent the days winning medals Hoping to protect my heart By covering it with metal. I'm trying to explain these walls, The shields and simple fears, I hope they don't reflect you away, But I do not know if you can stay. I buried myself deep within Behind this thick armor My wounds had frozen As I lay there, I burned the roses. A little heat was a sweet reminder Of my burnt past The loving pleasure and pain I ran from what would always remain. So when I glanced at you in disbelief, It was hard to mutter past my walls, But you saw past them with your own, By admitting what I had never known. The vulnerabilities we touch Let us know we are loved They acknowledge our shame And let us play our game With a silly smile, I finally got the courage I finally had the nerve, To yell past my wall...

Should I study abroad in Barcelona, Spain for the summer?

The sun is setting. I sit in a small dorm room in what I consider to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Barcelona. I have been to Barcelona, Spain on numerous occasions.
