I push forward on Sun Sep 05, 2010 9:28 pm
I push forward
But then arch back
Because I'm afraid
Of what I may lack
I found shelter in your safety
Your protection covered me
You were my cocoon
You shielded me
Now I am exposed
Helpless to the world
Abashed for what they may think
Averse to my own worth
I long for your wings
To fly me away
I long for the comfort
In the words you would say
I push forward again
This time I will not yield
I will learn to be strong without you
To carry my own shield
But then arch back
Because I'm afraid
Of what I may lack
I found shelter in your safety
Your protection covered me
You were my cocoon
You shielded me
Now I am exposed
Helpless to the world
Abashed for what they may think
Averse to my own worth
I long for your wings
To fly me away
I long for the comfort
In the words you would say
I push forward again
This time I will not yield
I will learn to be strong without you
To carry my own shield
