Your Courage By: Allie Helms
Love me for who I am now

Hate me for who I am to be

For my destiny will kill

And my secret life will torture me.

My tortured soul

And familiar strife

The death I've seen

This is my life.

But there is a light

Shining through the darkness

A light so unfamiliar

A light as my safety harness.

It catches me

So I don't fall

It helps me live

So I don't stall.

The help I found

I found in you

The help I have

Is oh so true.

You caught me while I was falling

I've never seen anything so pure

I admit I love you

I admit you found a cure.

Now I am innocent again

Now I can finally see

Everything you did

It was for me.

I can see all my dreams

I am finally alive

You taught me how to be me

You taught me how to fly.

My mind is quiet

My love is there

And I finally learn

Someone cares.

But what's going on

You're not you

Who are you now?

You're not true.

I feel you anger

It hurts so much

Come back to me

Let me feel your touch.

Look at what you did

Look at what you made me

You made me happy again

You made me believe.

You don't have to save me

You don't have to keep me alive

You've already done enough

You've already made me high.

You're killing me

You're making me die

Why are you doing this?

Why do you insist on making me cry?

Your red hate burns

Where will you path lead too?

Your orange eyes glare

I know it will destroy you

Watch out for your children

Their young hearts are true

There is love in you I know it

It will redeem you.

But just remember this

Is my final cry

And remember you had the courage

To make me fly.
