Maybe I Am
The world always asks for strength when all I have is weakness
Sometimes I have to ask if I am strong enough to beat this
Cause looking at the pieces can be a bit confusing
It’s hard to find the soothing when you know a storm is brewing
What is it that I’m doing? What is it I’m not saying?
Why is it that there’s always fear behind the words I’m praying?
When you come to me for saving, why is it I’m decaying?
What is it down inside of me that brings about this fading?
Cause I’ve given up the hating, the anger and the raging
I’ve tried to be more giving than ever being taking
But, now, this heart is racing as my thoughts are spinning crazy
I need to find a calm for her before it leaves me breaking
It’s amazing, in this fear, though, how I strive to persevere
I used to run and hide every time the hurt got near
But something in her tears makes me feel a little stronger
Like maybe I can stand up, for just a little longer
And use the strength to warm her until everything is better
Then I’ll quietly collapse but never let the weakness get her
If every storm we weather can be placed upon my shoulders
Then maybe she can be ok and I can be her soldier
Maybe I can be the one, the single guy she needs
Maybe I can make her smile with tears of joy on cheeks
Maybe I can keep her safe when the world would fall to pieces
Maybe I can be the one, but maybe I am weakness
Notes: It’s a little weak, but I just needed to get some thoughts out.
