I think back to just last week

I was unable to say

how I truly felt

I was scared and full of fear

For when you asked "What's wrong?"

all I could say was "Nothing."

You saw the tears

and came and comforted me

You showed me you cared

even when I couldn't speak

my heart, my mind, my thoughts

You knew I was hurting

I now feel anger towards myself

because I could not

be honest straight from the heart

be honest with you

For what I could not voice

was that you are everything

I once dreamed of being,

of becoming when I got older

For that was a child's wish

a growing wish that was changed

a wish that could not ever become true.

You are everything I wanted to be

You make me face myself

and dig down, pull down the walls to discover

To discover myself, and find myself

This is what I wanted to tell you

These were the words that I could not speak

These are the words I give to you
