You Could Try

If I could chose you I would
But the decision is not solely mine
You'd have to choose me
Choose hope choose life.

I watch you choose fear
It hurts
Knowing what I know
The wisdom I've grown.
Reluctant to be near
The worst
Sowing what I sow
It should be clear.

That I am safe.
That I am real.
There is a way
To think and feel,
great feelings, great thoughts.
It's not all, pain and hurt.

I know my worth.
That you don't see.
I could lift you up.
But I will watch

You drown.
