Broken Wings
She said “this is me
 And everything I write down
 Subscribes an issue to what I see
 And maybe I’m lost and have no clue
 But everything I write
 Turns into things I never do
 And with my arms
 I open them wide
 I write down my feelings
 But on the outside I hide
 And I say I give my all
 To everything I put forth
 But in the end I just fall
 Because I’m not saying the 
 Things on my mind
 I’m turning around
 And being lost is what I find
 And I tell you I know what to do
 I say I love
 But I never show you
 And maybe that’s my biggest mistake
 And we’ll find the last chapter
 Is where my feelings are at stake
 But if I tell you ‘here I am
 Come with me
 I’ll show you everything I strive to be’
 I’m setting myself up for a risk
 And right now
 I’m not sure of this
 Because what you don’t see
 Is I’m so broken inside
 I try to cover up
 How you make me feel so alive
 Because I’m just the girl
 And you’re an extraordinary boy
 Who will never get to see 
 The things I employ
 And if you could love
 More than you ever could before
 And tell me I’m beautiful 
 For what I endure
 Then I would show you the world
 Through my eyes tonight
 And everything inside
 Would be a spark that ignites
 You would find who I am
 And I would leave nothing out
 You deserve that much
 For being in this drought 
 And I’m sorry for that
 Hiding it from you stings 
 Because I’m just the girl
 With the beaten up, broken wings”
