Version of You

Hello, scared and helpless child

I know that it's been quite a while

I'm here because I know your pain

You can't escape what you still contain

It's always in these lonely moments

When you're feeling lost and wholly hopeless

You come to meet the one who saved you

The heart that held the pain that made you

(Who you are, more than scars)

You did only what you knew to do

But what didn't kill you still pierced through

You held the shield that hurts to hold

Purchased safety with a bit of your soul

Though now it feels like the end is near
One day this path will be crystal clear
You'll always have what is always true
You get to be this version of you

(You survived, you're alive, And you're so damn strong)
