Bound in chains

Bound in chains
behind bars
without hope of escape
but my body offers no refuge

Why must I go through this
am I doomed to rehash traumatic events over and over in my head
for eternity
or at least as long as my body remains

my soul is so vibrant, so happy, so upbeat
and a switch flips and I'm down again
ashamed of the body that i've worked hard to attain
just who decides what's perfect and what's not

I am so ashamed of my body
i'm ashamed of my feminine hips
of my less-than-flat stomach
of all my imperfections

But you love me for who I am
you hold me like a jewel
that you would never let go
in a million years

your eyes appreciate every inch of me
give me your sight, and i'll give you mine
i want to make you understand
to put into words what i feel, so the bars will be broken

rescue me from myself
from all my insecurites
make them go away
let me see what i really look like

not the ugly, distorted version that is before the mirror every morning
you make me happy
do i make you happy
hide me from the world, and all life's joys and pleasures shall be ours

I love you, I cherish you, I admire you
and I don't want to fuck up things with you
Sometimes my intensity blows me away
Don't be a victm

Trust me, and I will trust you
I place all my heart in your hands
please be gentle
if you weren't i might break

I'm too fragile
My heart has been broken for too long
What i need is some needle and thread
and strong hands, a strong heart, and a beautiful smile

Make me believe in love again
crush all my doubts with your love
shower me with hugs and kisses
and let me see the me that you see..that's all i ask of you
