Unbreakable

Unbreakable  
  
If only I could find a way 
To bear the cruel things that you say  
  
Your words would be the one to break  
Each cutting sound your quick tongue makes  
  
Those scattered pieces that you’d see 
Would be your broken words, not me  
  
If I could find the words to speak 
Or find a way to be less weak  
  
If I could try to love myself 
Enough to not need anyone else 
  
Maybe I wouldn’t be such a fool 
To think that you could love me too  
  
To think that you might try to find 
Some way to not be so unkind  
  
If I could see myself for me 
Instead of what you seem to see  
  
Until I find a love that’s capable 
Dear God, just please make me unbreakable
