Acceptance

Here I am, broken down, used up, lost and never bought.
thrown up against the wall, stabbed in the back, chances shot.
help me, save me, lend me a hand.
please bring me out of this water and back to dry land!
drowning in countless terrifying fears,
drowning in endless salted tears.
hear me now as if you hear my silent screams,
hear me now as my heart bursts from invisible seams.
shouts, and screams, can you hear the fragile beat?
that stutters from lack of love and heat?
for everytime my heart beats I hope your in pain,
I swear to you, I have nothing left to gain.
for every tear that falls from my face,
I swear to you, your pain will not be from Grace.
for every fear that races across my mind,
I swear to you, I will be harder to find.
for every one of my cuts and scars,
I swear to you, I will leave and be forever far.
so hear me now as if I have to cry,
hear me now through every guilty lie.
hear me now I need you to see,
that all I ever wanted.... is for you to accept me for me.
