We Could Be More

I don’t want you to say that my monsters make me who I am
I don’t want you to say that my scars make me beautiful
I don’t want you to say that my insecurities mean I'm endearing
I don’t want you to say that my fears build my character

I don’t want you to say that my monsters don’t define me
I don’t want you to say that my scars can heal over
I don’t want you to say that my insecurities don’t matter
I don’t want you to say that my fears can go away

I don’t want you to say that my monsters aren't as bad as others’
I don’t want you to say that my scars are just like everybody else’s
I don’t want you to say that my insecurities aren't all that bad
I don’t want you to say that my fears are what everybody deals with

I want you to say that you’ll be there to help fight the monsters
I want you to say that you’ll help my scars hurt less
I want you to say that you’ll comfort me when I feel insecure
I want you to say that you’ll hold me when I'm afraid

I want you to say you’ll stay
~
