People don’t mean to hurt you when addressing you with scorn. Often times it’s just their experiences prior to meeting you that lean them into a conversational mess. If they don’t want to show you any value, then they ought choose to interact with you less. Otherwise they’re engaging in reinforcing their own negativity, and that’s a surefire way to miss out on the good times; to miss out on personal growth.

Woodsman Wonder

Woodsman wonder
Am I safe
Will I ever know the path of least resistance
Will I find a fierce forever for my folly of existence
Am I here
Am I here

Woodsman wonder
See me home
Though I always fought alone I never thought
I never thought I earned what I wrought
Am I here
Am I here

When I search into the evergreen
My mind at ease to what I’ve seen
My life to hold review
To what I knew of you
My woodsman
My reflection

Are we everything
We thought to be
Am I everything
I ought to be
My life to pass a brief surprise
The questions linger in my eyes
I ought to be
I try to be

Sharpen, harpin’ on your axe
Feeling breathing on our backs
Woodsman wonder, hold it in, hold it in
They mean not how they’re sinking in
The words they linger in our ear
When in their brains they disappear
I know they followed me
Without intending me
My woodsman wonder
My woodsman wonder
My woodsman
My woodsman wonder
