"I promise you that I'm trying to change.
I know that my silence can be deadly.
Can't think of one person to tell,
It would only make worse of the pain that I felt
I tried to run away from the hurt but it latched on so tight that I fell.
They say destroy what destroys you so I've been destroying myself.
Now listen: I told you I'm trying to act different
But things like this takes patience
And I don't know if I got enough motivation.
Been acting this way my whole life and you say that's sad but to me it feels like it's just right
My own habit to bite tight--letting myself bleed because it gives me life.
I still remember the looks you would give me when I couldn't say I love you without a huge inner fight.
It was never really the problem of meaning it more like the doubt of its will to survive.
And you know I still have my moments where showing affection sends me hives.
I wouldn't blame you if you were to leave me behind;
Afterall there's plenty of fish in the sea
But I promise you just give it time I can prove to you
That I am trying to change."
