If I had someone who sat and just listened,
If there was someone without a judging heart
Of piercing ice and metal,
Maybe I’d be more outspoken.
If I had someone who said, “It’s going to be alright.”
Someone who let me cry my mistakes in silence,
And told me to look up instead of down,
Maybe I’d be more confident.
If someone embraced my scars, my tears, my hopes
Instead of telling me to hide,
To cover myself with a mask.
If I had somebody tell me to stand by my dreams,
Maybe I’d be proud of my imagination.
If I had someone who saw through my bruises and failures
And still stood beside me,
Despite the dark and cold,
Maybe I’d love myself more.
Maybe I’m crazy,
Maybe I’m insane.
But I am who I am today,
Because the someone I needed,
Was the someone I never had.
