what i wish i could say
by Ellsie Finch
Give me time is all I ask
Give me patience is all I ask
Is this too much to ask?
I need help, can't you see?
I need space, can't you see?
I need time, can't you see?
I can't help this
Why would you think I asked for this?
I need help to get out of this
I don’t want this to happen again
It happened again
I'll be strong if it happens again
I tell myself that
But do we know if it will be like that?
It probably won't be like that
Please don’t be mad at me
Please don’t do that to me
Please help me
Please understand how this happened
I didn’t want it to happen
Don’t think I asked for it to happen
I was scared
You would be scared
Many are scared
I am scarred
We are scarred
I proudly wear my heart and body scarred
I am not the same everyday
I am reminded everyday
But I am new everyday
Remember I am human
I bruise like a human
I feel like a human
I can be weak
Some days my mind is weak
Other days my body is weak
But the next day I will be strong
I'll pick myself up to be strong
You could help me be strong
I know my dealings can be a challenge
Everyday is a challenge
But I accept my challenge
Will you accept transparent me
Will you stand beside me
Will you help me
