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
