if only you were indestructable
Everyone and Everything is totally insane
And if I could have one wish, to fix it all
I’d make you indestructible,
Protect you from yourself
So you didn’t have to waste all your tears
And break your own heart and
Give up on your own dreams
You could let someone else do it for a change
To make you better, first I’d tear you all the way down
I’d give you armor like a tortoise
and make you strong like a dragon
Lastly I’d gift you the deadly vulnerability of a scorpion
You would be so strong yet so small
That would help you recognize your ability to be harmed
And to do harm
I’d give you the ability to forget and to believe
And remind you forgiveness is an option
I’d let you live without guilt,
Fear,
Shame
Heartache or
Pain
I’d let you keep your anger because it’s just
so much of you, without it there’d be so little left
In short I’d fix you
I’d fix you
And then it wouldn’t matter if
Everyone and Everything is totally insane
Because you’d be safe and I’d be happy
But wishes don’t work that way
And There aren’t enough
birthday candles or
eyelashes or
shooting stars
in the world,
to save you from you
And if I could have one wish, to fix it all
I’d make you indestructible,
Protect you from yourself
So you didn’t have to waste all your tears
And break your own heart and
Give up on your own dreams
You could let someone else do it for a change
To make you better, first I’d tear you all the way down
I’d give you armor like a tortoise
and make you strong like a dragon
Lastly I’d gift you the deadly vulnerability of a scorpion
You would be so strong yet so small
That would help you recognize your ability to be harmed
And to do harm
I’d give you the ability to forget and to believe

to save you from you
