Who I am in front of you That is only partly true Some parts are seen over time Still others are only mine What you see is confidence brimming Just the surface barely skimming My words to you speak power Words to myself slowly devour Attentive to your thoughts and emotions Drifting deep into my ocean Comforting you with a warm embrace Wiping tears off my face This world should feel like home In my mind wandering alone We need each other to thrive Without help I won’t survive
