Confession
I’d like to say something, but I’m afraid…
Afraid you won’t understand
That you’ll think I’m being arrogant or that I know something you don’t
That what I say is an indictment on your life
But none of that is true…
I am wounded just like you, looking for the light in a dark world
Looking deep into myself, trying to understand my frailty, my unique beauty
Battling the demons that hold me back
So forgive me if I work out my life before your eyes
And say things meant solely for myself
If they strike a nerve,
It only means we are that much more alike
I know how you feel, I can see it in your eyes,
Hear the brokenness in your voice
It’s who we are, and we need each other,
But we cannot hold onto it anymore!
We’ve forgotten how to talk,
How to touch, how to listen
Forgotten how to embrace
The life and pain between us...
I need you to see the me I am…and the you to be,
I hope you need me
