Can you just trust me
Trust me that I am growing
I am learning
Yes, I am making mistakes
Yes, I am going to make mistakes
But I learn from them
I grow from them
Im finding my way
Im finding my boundaries
But Ive also learned that
for me to find my boundaries I need to get burnt
Thats how I learn
Thats how I know how far Ill go
By going on until I get burnt
Then I step back
And its set
Ive found my boundry
But without that
without getting burnt
I wont know who I am
I wont know where to stop
I wont know how far I can go
And I know Im asking a lot
Im asking you to watch me burn
But its in that
that I step up
That I step back
That I learn
Its in that
that I find my place
That I find the boundry
That I find me
It builds my boarders
Builds my knowledge
Builds my strength
It builds my circle
The one that will eventually keep me from harm
But without getting burnt I cant set those boundries because I wouldn't know where to stop
So could I in all this senseless plea ask for trust
And for you to let me be me
And I can assure you that one day I will get to where I need to be
I know you still think I dont know
I know you still think I dont understand
But just maybe I understand more than you think I do
I cant exactly comprehend everything right now
But as each day goes by I learn something new
I wouldnt do something unless I want to
I can say no and stick to my answer
Ive been in situations where Ive said yes
Ive been in situations where Ive said no
Ive been in situations where Ive tested my boundries and found them
Ive been in situations where I knew my boundries and didnt cross them
I only get burnt once.
every burn is another brick I lay on my wall
The wall Im slowly building
To surround me
To keep me safe
To not only keep something out
But to keep me in
So let me burn
Let me learn
Let me build
And one day
I would be set
I would be set
But until then
Im going to burn
Im going to make wrong choices
Im going to hurt.
