~She Who Is Me~
~She Who Is Me~
She carries a burden that nobody knows
And wonders if she’ll be okay.
She swears that she will and she means it to be true
But she knows life can sometimes get in her way
She has days where she hides in the black
When a bleakness envelopes her heart
She looks to the moon to find comfort
It’s not much but she calls it a start
She’ll ask you to bring her some comfort
And caustically push you away
She fears in her heart that your toxic
But a part of her wishes you to stay
She comes on strong and secure
When her heart is shattered to dust
She wants to be loved and be loving
But she’s fearful and not quick to trust
She cries when you disappoint her
When she feels that your not on her side
She’ll leave you if your hurt her deeply
Holding fiercely to her fragile pride
She’s brave when the world is against her
When she would rather just hide and cry
She pushes her way to the front of the line
‘Cause she can’t stand to let her life pass her on by
She finds solace within her own soul
When she learns that she is more than she seems
She doesn’t need your completion
Because she knows how to reach her own dreams
She's faced more than you could imagine
And learned much more than she wanted or even cared to know
She’s had times when she felt she was broken
But instead, she has somehow learned to grow
She will offer you her heart and friendship
When she knows that you’ll just let her be
Love her, accept and respect her
And she’ll teach you how her love
And the taste of her sweet soul will allow you to be
