Fighting Voices

I feel like I am now an open book to you,
exposing the entire story
of my life to you.

I often wish we could see
what is inside people's hearts,
we may not like what we find,
but at least we will know the truth.

I spent years trapped in secrets,
but had I known you then,
maybe my silence would have been broken,
knowing that your love was by my side.

And as much as I beg you
to please stay now,
there is a big voice inside of me
screaming...

"You don't deserve to be saved!"
