I'm not brave enough
To open my heart out again
To sing the song trapped within
To share the stories I've concealed
To call someone I've met a friend
To step out of my comfort zone
To reach for my blurry dreams
To share who I am
To be proud of the things I've done
I'm not brave enough
The lonely whale's song has been heard
Parentless children have been claimed by gods
Loners have found a home
The friendless have found their friends
Strays have found their owners
The loveless have found their lovers
But I still have not found my voice
A strength to reach out to others
I'm still scared of opening up
I am not brave enough
Should I remain in the shadows forever?
Should I seek out the things I desire?
Should I let myself be hurt once more?
Should I prefer the pain of being hurt
Rather than the pain of being lonely?
Should I share this torn up heart?
Will it be safe from torments
Or will devils find it a good place to plant?
Will I become better
Or will I only become more bitter?
