I’ve been trying to profess my endless torment and fear of being hated, but I get too caught up in the struggle to make sense,
the doubt that I will hold
when I tell another person that I know I won’t get old.
I am surrounded by others all in love,
I want to have what they have,
but I can’t rise above my undying lack of confidence and patience.
I’m just too broken for anyone.
I’ve been trying to mend these scars,
to seem as if I’m strong.
I just don’t want to deceive someone and have them come along.
My constant struggle: to be loved or to be safe.
I don’t trust myself, but I still trust my faith.
I need a sign,
God please give me a sign.
Send someone to help these aching pains go away for a while.
I need some time,
I need a break.
I just want to fall in love with someone that will make me feel again.
Make me feel like I’m safe.
Make me feel like I’m not a waste.
Show me that there’s better days.
Hold my hand when times get tough, or when I lose my place.
I need to feel okay.
