And if someone sings, don't stop them

I stopped not talking
Started trust falling
Observed when caught
And when more fraught
Delete the next line
It'll wreck my fine
Pull these punches
Ignore my hunches
My heart is aches
For all our sakes
One earthly chance
Spent being so tense
All my dreams met
But I'm not on set
I don't come in on cue
I'm out of sync
Lost in the blue
Taking time to think

Reject rhythm
Reject rhyme
Want just knowing
Want divine

Whether I'm falling or singing
Why let me fall flat?
Uplifting is uplifting
Did you think about that?

I'm not a fake praiser
Nor do I want one of those
See me and tell me
If you catch my vibe
These lists of my faults
Dampen spirits 
Drag me down
Dash my zest for being alive

I'm trust falling
Test calling
I'm almost in your arms
Show me acceptance
See how it calms
I don't want to be
Shock wave energy
I have a rhythm
I'm sure I do
I'm knocked off kilter 
I don't blame you
But I'm seeking balance
Preventing crashes
Cushioning my fall
That's all
