i don’t just want to see your light
i want all of you
i want you to show me your wounds
and sorrows
i want to know if you have ever felt
broken and beaten by all this
i don’t just want your happy face
i want to see your truth

you don’t have to give me a big story
or make out like you are the only one
who has suffered
just be real
and share something honest

if we are going to get along
we have to agree
to be true and open
or there is no point
to anything

it’s not hard
it just takes a little courage.
