MERCY WAITS

I’d like to believe in your sincerity,

But all I see are lies.

Every tie to reality severed by my fears on the future.

I haven’t even begun to let you see…

The real me.

It tortures me to stay in shadows,

But I have never seen the sun,

And its easier to run then to welcome an undiscovered country.

I know you wait patiently to take my hand.

How can you wait for me to walk

When I can’t even stand,

There you are,

Never a word on how selfish I’ve been.

And all I can think is I don’t deserve to win.
