What if I was fearless?
If I was fearless I would cut you.
Cut you to pieces.
Cut you like the broken glass I am
Cut you out of my life completely.
Make you bleed the same blood
I've spent my life since you trying
To keep from spilling out,
Staining my rose-colored lenses.

But I'm not fearless.
I'm too scared. Too **** afraid.
Afraid that if you don't love me, nobody else will.
One day I'll realize that I'm worthy
And I don't need the praise of a man to know love.
Today though I'm just trying to make it through
Until I can touch the stars and sleep
Without dreaming of all the ways
I'll never fill you up.
