For once I'm my life

For once I'm my life
I know not mad
better yet I'm maybe glad
I promise not to let you hurt

For once in my life
I need you to stay
Be calm cool and collective
Stay solid kept woven together

This time I promise to listen
to feel your mood
take time to soothe you
Make every move to heal you

For once in my life
I made you a priority
lend my ears to hear the story
behind all your tears

Now for once in my life
I'm back in touch
no longer distant
I feel I'm getting to know you

In all your fragility
I swore to protect
and seal you behind a glass
that all may see your beauty

But I myself neglected you
like everyone did
often forgotten about
yet you remained strong

Kept holding on
tossed about like a tempest
buckling not
you wouldn't give in

For once in my life
I saw the outcast
left aside the one that couldn't hide
cause it had been hidden all the time

With a beat that couldn't be heard
a rhythm so faint
a day of birth
presented by death

To be born again
The tears of sweat
beats reaching deep
into depths of the soul

For once in my life
I promise not to let you go
I will always love you
I will always hold you

For once in my life
I hold you accountable
over you I'm responsible
for once this is certainly certainty
