I'm not the easiest person to love
My emotions are like a stormy sea
I can be moody and difficult to understand
But I'm still worthy of affection, you see
I may push you away with my walls
And hide behind a mask of strength
But deep down, I crave connection
And long for love at its full length
I have scars from battles I've fought
And fears that I may never overcome
But if you can hold space for my brokenness
You'll find that I'm also full of wisdom
It takes patience and grace to love me
But I promise it's worth the fight
Because beneath the tough exterior
I'm a soul that shines bright
