A Dissertation

I think I'm scared of marriage
What if it doesn't work out?
And I'm a man left in his thirties
Without a plan, a wife, or house
Is it worth the risk?
To be loved like this and maybe lose it all

I hate my body image
But it's not good to talk about
And I can't ever bring it up without
Concern for mental health
Is it worth the fight?
To be recognized but never really fall
In love

But I'll cling tightly to
Things unseen
'Cause either way I lose
Everything
When the moths come and try to chew
My hopes and dreams
I'll sing "Holy is my King"

What if I'm a parent
Who can't figure his son out
And he feels hopeless in his twenties
Without direction, drowned in doubt
Could I recognize
That love is sacrifice and maybe I was wrong

Or what if she hates commitment?
And she won't ever let me close
And I'm just longing from a distance
Giving love to foolish hope
Could I cut the ties
To one that fills my eyes but never really falls
In love

But I'll cling tightly to
Things unseen
'Cause either way I lose
Everything
When the moths come and try to chew
My hopes and dreams
I'll sing "Holy is my King"
