Love is a gift that I can't accept
And it's not that I wish to reject
My goal in life is to connect
But My heart has been hurt too intensely
I am immensely saddened and what happened is in the past
But the event was so fast I couldn't digest the feeling and now my best is reeling me away from love
Help me rise above
My eyes have seen a world without compassion and my first reaction was to scurry away
I hurried fast into my mind where I stay
And obey the fear that keeps creeping near because I don't want to hear that i'm worthy
That I have value
Because I've seen where my body was and where it is now
And somehow I can't accept this idea
That because my bodily communication machine is not as pristine as it used to be
That my internal message is just as flimsy
And no one will be patient to see
The depth of the love inside of me
If you could peer into my soul
You would see the control it takes to make the physical gears continue to spin
But I don't see my drive as a win
Just an endlessly tiring run
Oh please help remind me why life is fun
