Starting to Drown

They say the hardest thing to heal, is a broken heart. But I've been trying so hard, for so long. And I'm dying to prove them all wrong. I've been trying, and crying, and begging to get it right. Just so I can turn back on the light in your eyes. But I'm starting to drown, in my tears, in my fears. I've only been given the slightest clue, but I'm searching through every avenue. I've been trying everything I can, to get back the person everyone thinks is a boy, but I know in my heart he's a man. I think I may have a plan. Everyone is telling me it's a waste of time, but I know it would be a crime, to just throw it all away. I will just keep trying harder every day. All I can really do is pray for you to stay, please stay. We're always told, that as we grow old, we are just living the life, written for us in the stars. But I'm living by the words in all of our scars. Because they help us read between the lines, of what our hearts want us to know. And my heart keeps playing the same message on repeat, and it's stuck in my mind. It's not about the climb, it's not about the view from the top. What matters is where you find yourselves after all the misfortunes life has given you. So don't let a simple mistake ruin something good in your life. Please just power through the obstacles, tackle them and show them who's in charge. Take control of the future you want, not the future everyone else believes you deserve. I know you deserve better, and I want to help you get there, but will you let me?
