I SAID

I said I am afraid to go to a better place
until you lit the path and took my hand.

I said that I am afraid to try
until you convinced me that in your eyes I couldn't fail.

I said I couldn't share my hurt
until you showed me the scars on your heart.

I said I wished I could do things differently
until you convinced me that it wouldn't change how you felt about me.

I said I couldn't fly
until you lifted my arms and blew confidence under my wings.

I said I was too tired to go on
until you lent your shoulder to carry my load.

I started to say I didn't deserve.
You said be still and know that I am special
