My entire life I have been quiet
Obedient, too afraid to ask why
Not wanting to upset others
So I learned to never let them see me cry

Just bury the past
Never discuss how I feel
Just keep moving forward
It's gotten hard to tell what is real

How could anyone understand
The blackness of my soul
As my world was ripped from its axis
I try desperately to remain whole

Everyday that's passed
Serves to remind
We can't erase the past
Time isn't something you can rewind

I have never opened up
It's never been worth it to me
Perhaps it's the answer
The path that will set me free

But when you ask me
Am I scared of you?
My answer is no
For I finally see what's true

I want to show you it all
Reveal everything I am to you
But if I do what will happen?
Just what will you do?

I couldn't bear to lose you
It would be like having no air
You mean everything to me
So soul I'm prepared to bare

I know all of this is sudden
But we both no it's real
This connection unbreakable
Maybe old wounds can heal

I can't run anymore
Nor do I want to hide
As I cry into my pillow tonight
I reveal every single side

I can't stop the tears from falling
As they slide down my cheek
I realize strength is beautiful
Yet I feel so weak

Please don't go away
This I beg of you
Here is the real me
Just a shadow of the person I knew

"If you can dream it, you can achieve it"

"Maybe old wounds can heal"

I guess you never know until you try?

Nice new chapter, hoping for a great ending.
