There is never a day I am not
On guard for my heart.
I could be perceived as a robot
But protecting myself is an art.
I have not seen a day
Where kindness and love have found me.
Here I am far away
To dream of being free.
Here I am alone again
But then, somehow you found me.
My life was once so dull
Void of love and light
Then you were brave enough to pull
Me out of the fight.
And now I’m free of fright.
Everything is brighter
With you next to me
Although I may still be a fighter
Inside I know I’m free.
Though I may wear my mask
It is to protect me.
But now I see my new task
Is to stay with you and never flee.
Living life on the edge
I don’t know any other way.
Come to the ledge
And save me so I don’t have to pay.
