Persevere through debris. Help me rebuild consistency. Exposing all the wounds I need to feel. I want to heal. I want to learn to trust again. To open up to let you in. I want it. Because I know that you would understand. A genuine attempt at helping me to mend. I can feel the warmth inside your heart. I was scared to be so vulnerable, because you wouldn’t like what you would see. Or do I take myself to seriously? I think I’m stubborn to forgive myself but I can learn to live. Because I’m trusting in your patience and I know you’ll help me see this straight again. Maybe I’m a better person and I’m not deserving of how I repent. The world could crash, take everything. Yeah I could be alone, but I can make it. Endure the past. Pursue relief. I’ll never be alone, yeah I can make it. All alone I’m wrecked without a way to cope. Speak with truth and show me I’m alright. Give me hope. Don’t let me run off in fear and defeat. Everything here is still more than I need. Because I’ve never been the one to say I’ll take it if you told me you were willing to give help. And if I ever had a need for sentiment I wouldn’t tell. I don’t feel alone anymore. Fend off the shadows of the things you used to be.
