Please Be Patient With Me
Opening Up
Please be patient with me
I may seem jagged
I may be a mess
I may be slow
Indecisive
Never knowing what may come next
Please be patient with me
When I feel like the world has turned upside down
When my emotions are running wild
With tears rolling down my eyes
And my voice cracking like a shattered porcelain doll
Please be patient with me
When I run away to think things through
When my mind is so jumbled
That I can't even see daylight through the fog
When it feels like every turn seems to be ten steps backwards
Please be patient with me
When I am engulfed in a storm of darkness
Just grasping to see the light
I promise I am trying
However everything seems so far out of sight
Please be patient with me
I will turn around
I will remember what dancing in the sun is like
When the golden rays touch down in your skin
And make you feel alive
Please be patient with me
For I am fragile
I am only human
Making mistakes
And learning as I go
Please be patient with me
And I'll remember
What it is like to feel the glow
That kind that radiates from deep inside
Like the coming of a magnificent thunderstorm
The kind where lightning takes over the sky
And thunder rattles the ground
Sending shivers down your spine
Please be patient with me
And in return
I will show you
Who I am inside
Like layers I will slowly peel
Like the rings forming the trunk of a tree
Holding this history
Of what has made me
All I ask
Is if you could
Just maybe
Please...
Please be patient with me
