Talking To The Moon
You're scared of people getting close
Its hard to give your trust
You've had that trust betrayed
You had no choice but to adjust
Your feelings overwhelm you
You want to let them go
The more you crave the quiet
The louder that things grow
You feel unworthy, you don't deserve
The people that love and care
It's hard to accept good things
When you were raised within despair
You have trouble with speaking the words
That get caught somewhere in your mind
You have so much going on at once
They're impossible to find
So many emotions all bubbling up
There's chaos in your head
Its hard to verbalize each one
So you choose silence instead
How can anyone understand?
It makes you feel like you're alone
You're used to dealing by yourself
Spent so long on your own
I can understand the things you feel
Because I feel them too
Maybe what drew me in
Is how much of me I see in you
I accept you for all that you are
Theres is no need to feel shame
Theres nothing you've done wrong
No reason to take any blame
Im here by your side and I want to help
No conditions for you to meet
The thoughts of being undeserving
Are founded in deceit
Lies your mind has been made to believe
From years of being mistreated
These negative beliefs become your truth
When they're constantly repeated
I may not have all the answers
But a lot of mistakes I've made
Ive gained an amount of insight
From the prices I have paid
I know its not easy to let people in
I struggle with this too
There is no pressure or time constraints
The pace is up to you
You know where I am if you need me
Reach out and I will be there
I do this with no expectations
My motivation is that I care
We may not value ourselves at times
But theres one thing you must know
How much others value us
Is out of our control
Its hard to give your trust
You've had that trust betrayed
You had no choice but to adjust
Your feelings overwhelm you
You want to let them go
The more you crave the quiet
The louder that things grow
You feel unworthy, you don't deserve
The people that love and care
It's hard to accept good things
When you were raised within despair
You have trouble with speaking the words
That get caught somewhere in your mind
You have so much going on at once
They're impossible to find
So many emotions all bubbling up
