:: i wouldn't go to eden ::

i wouldn't go to eden
if that would only
brings tears in my eyes

i wouldn't go to eden
if that would only
reminds me of the hurt

i wouldn't go to eden
if going there
would only makes me
harder to trust people

as it will finally
also take
the self-confidence
i have

i'd prefer
staying here
even though
it's not glittery
as it only makes me
feel wanted
peaceful
blessed
and loved

i know it's not eden's fault
but what i have i learned is
no matter where i am
as long as i feel needed
warm, and secured
and as long as i'm surrounded
by the angels on earth
i will be the happiest person
and i will ask no more ...

it could be in eden
it could be here
it could be anywhere
