It’s hard to believe it So much hasn’t gone your way But I know that if you keep trying You are going to be okay

You shared your light with someone special But they made you feel oh so terrible The support and love that you always bring so many people decided they didn’t need Now you’re here, sad and afraid Wishing so badly that they’d all stayed I can’t understand why people pushed you away I know it hurt you, but anyway I guess that means there’s more of you for me

I’m trapped here inside no matter how many times I’ve tried to escape this empty pit The dark, the cold, this is it The past has swallowed me whole My regrets and misery have taken a toll So I’m left to wander, always lost Wondering if my choices were worth the cost Then I look out and see something new and my hope shines through Cos even though this journey is my own I don’t have to walk it alone

I’m sorry if what I said didn’t make sense or even if you might’ve taken offense I’m sorry if I assumed incorrectly or if you think I tried to hurt you directly I’m sorry I can’t be what you want me to be But I’m not sorry for being me

It’s okay to be scared although I’m sure you’re prepared I’ll tell you why, and it’s true that I believe in you

Dear Friend,

I know tonight you can’t keep it together I can hear you reciting reasons to carry on

There’s so much about me to know All of it, I’m willing to show But you aren’t going to take the time to look Only flip through your outdated book

On the ground I lie my wings, broken and bloody My flame is going out as I let the darkness take me

I love that you remember all of your mistakes and can’t stand to see them

I’m falling apart moments from tears but I will still find the strength for a smile
