Worth saving.
I live in fear that I'll die
As I'm re-learning to breathe
Don't get angry.
Don't let it seep into your skin and get the best of you.
Defend yourself with exactly the weapons you need.
Accept help standing from those who escape being caught up in themselves.
Only say things you really mean.
Try to have a little more faith in people.
I could say all the right things,
But I'm tired of tip-toeing.
I'm tired of trading a backbone for bruised knees.
I'm ready to step off and allow the horizon to swallow me
as my footprints chase my feet.
