Raw

Doin' it your way
Bein' completely dry
My crutch of choice
Is just to cry

Dealing with my feelings
Which are completely raw
I'm forced to see in me
What you already saw

You forced me to admit
What really caused the pain
You said be true to myself
To see what I have to gain

I like who I am
When I'm true to myself
You continue to urge me
To put the pain on the shelf

Thanks for your patience
 Letting my raw wounds heal
Thanks for showing me kindness
Thanks for giving me love that's real
