Faults

I am soaring. I'm on a high that I will ride greedily until it slips away. Joy is not something I come by easily, and it's not my fault. If you toe tap to the same tune, it isn't your fault either. I blame myself because it's easy, but it's far from true. You blame yourself because it's easy, but it's far from true. I have been put in situations where it was so hard to love myself I almost lost myself, forever. Everyone almost lost me, forever. And it wasn't my fault. It isn't your fault. I bounced back to find a course and here I am on it. You will too. I never thought I'd see the day I did something just for me. Today is the day, today could be your day. So if you're looking for a sign to save yourself well here I am!! Bright, blinking, and neon! You are worth it. Just promise me, when I fall back down, you'll be there to catch me? I won't depend on you, don't feel tethered. I am not your responsibility. You are not... No, no. I am allowed to need someone. You are allowed to need someone. I am not weak. You are not weak. We are untouchable.
