I am not an option
I am a **** good choice.
Despite my scars and insecurities,
I am a prize!
I built the barricades to keep people out.
And I want to let you in.
But I can't make myself vulnerable around you.
All the love I still have for you,
all the love I long to show.
you make me feel like I'm just an option.
Like you could take me or leave me and it wouldn't make a difference.
To think...you mean the world to me and I have allowed this.
I've allowed it; it's the only way I could keep you.
I need you more than I'm willing to admit.
After all that we've been through, you make me question my own heart.
But every day I must push onward, putting myself first.
I am not an option.
I am a **** good choice.
Despite my scars and insecurities,
I am a prize!
