Talk about the things I never tell anyone,

the ones that make me cry and feel awkward about.

I want to learn to trust you,

to dip my toes in unfamiliar places and the rest of me,

to get it over and done with.

But I feel you won't understand,

and I am afraid to take a big step towards freedom.

But you've told me I Can,

when I believe I Can't.

There's hope that soars through your words

But arrows that shot them down like birds.

I want to believe I Can

But It's so easy staying where I am.
