I'm opening my heart
It's been closed for so long
Too long
He made me want to close up
Want to give up everyday
End this thing I call my life
Every word bringing me down
Worthless, Punishment
A punishment for his sins
What my life became
Every word
Taking me farther away

But now
I'm opening up
Letting myself be loved
Ignoring these voices in my head
Letting myself be embraced
Breaking down the walls holding me back
All these imperfections
Are here to stay
But for now I'm learning
Learning to trust
Opening this heart
Embracing these imperfections
