Sometimes I wish you could see me
As a damaged and broken human being
Would you still love me after knowing
How my nightmares feel more like an epiphany
These fears they awaken the deepest vices
Each year they beckon a challenging crisis
They push and they pull only to test the promises
So taxing are the attacks they keep me listless
It begs to come and then off it goes
The subdued ebb and the meandering flow
Each step a wayward dance, each note a dull tone
Each smile a layered chance to keep my happiness in tow
