Words to match a Rose

Him or Them

Him.
For he's there,
I still see him.
Every shadow,
Every mirror,
Every morning.
I still can't run,
I still can't hide.
He's always there,
He always will be,
He's there forever.
I can feel the ice,
As it creeps in my veins.
I'm cold,
I'm alone.
I can't trust anyone.
When I do,
He'll have me strike them down.
He'll keep me alone.
I can't let go,
Who would I be if I did?
I'm alone,
I'm afraid,
In the midst of this plague.
I can fight back,
But what would happen if I did?
Will I lose myself?
Will they hold on?
Will they leave?
Who am I if I don't hold on?
Who will they find if I let go?
Who will stay with me.
Who will help me.
Why me,
Why do I have to choose.
Him.
Or them.
Why would you.
You won't gain anything.
You will just lose your time.
You will just waste effort.
Don't do this,
I'm not worth it.
I'll fight my own battles.
So for now,
I will choose them
I will say thanks.
For being around at least.
For remembering me.
For being a friend.
I want you to know,
You are special.
Take this lesson,
Pass it on.
Grow strong with others.
And to you who stays,
You are family.
And to you who knows,
You are one I will stand by,
Despite the odds of this world.
And to you who feels.
Know your opinion is valued.

And to you who walks with me,
I love you.
Out of all the jello,
You chose the frozen one.
The one that was consistent.
For you three,
My fear is put aside.
Despite what the feeler thinks,
And the knower sees.
Despite what the lover may not understand.
This is for all of you.
