You've been looking for
A place to fall where you can
Safely open up
Your battle wounds that
Scar internally screaming
To be released like
A caged bird that learned
It can't fly away with the
Cage door locked shut so
It stops chirping cuz
Chirping does nothing to help
And then the door opens
It's learned helplessness
Another's guidance needed
There is more than this
Cage you've grown used to
You deserve someone's tender
Hands to hold through this
Healing journey as
You come undone unlearning
The lies you've been told
Someone to carry
Your secrets you hold inside
To help untangle
Confusing chapters
That have no ending and need
Closure to move on
To a better you
A happier version and
For real this time cuz
How your past left you
Doesn't mean that the future
Will be terrible
It doesn't mean that
You're undeserving of love
But rather it's quite
The opposite you
Need to be understood by
Someone who'll stay and
Recognizes that
You have so much potential
And will build you up
