I let my eyes screams the words, my lack of guts never give the wounded heart I carry permission to. Then I looked to you.
I carry on my shoulders, the burdens of an entire lifetime and a broken family. all the while, tip-toeing around circumstance and on top of eggshells. Somehow I grew.
I have been held down by unfortunate upbringing and misconstrued judgments. Brought up by books and words painted across a troubled canvas making sense to only me. Then I found you.
All that once made life unbearable and unworthy, transformed into something worth saving. Fearful became fearless, and I knew of the one thing I was sure didn’t exist.
I couldn’t see light. Then I looked to you. I knew not who I was, Somehow I grew. I didn’t know love, Then I found you.
