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
