I used to feel your gaze resting on me
Yet never did I dare to lift my eyes
Paralyzed by such gentleness
Now when I look up
It's like staring into the sky
We wave a flag with each smile
And we hold it high with a wordless promise
How things have changed.
I used to splash in the creek
Used to stretch my hands to reach you
Surrendering my all
Now when I look inside
I don't know who lives there
I'm waiting for perfection, for my answer
What if this is it?
Bet you weren't ready for this.
Allow me to unfold the girl you hadn't seen.
Her deepest parts, her darkened chasms
Her soul, you'll find, is screaming
Aren't we all?
Sick.
But holding on.
