Rescue me

Rescue me
Take me out of my cardboard box
Be careful of my china hands
Save me
My hair blonde with soft curls
I have a roseiness to my cheeks
Lift me gently for I will sure to break
Sit me on your shelf
For everyone to see
Save me from myself
I see myself in a window
I see ugliness deep from the inside
Wash me of my badness
Why can’t you see it from my eyes
Don’t love me
For I have no reason to be loved
I feel hate
I feel angered
I have never been pure
I have never been
Rescued
After all
I am just your china doll
But don’t you dare drop me
For I for sure will break.

Hope

Hope is hanging on when times are tough,
Hope is finding good from something rough.
Hope is a little light when you've had enough,
Hope is what I need to get through stuff.

Hope is holding on to something real,
Hope is something that I want to feel.
Hope is what I need to help me heal,
Hope is what I need to break the seal.

Hope is what carries me along the way,
Hope helps me face the coming day.
Hope keeps hindering thoughts at bay,
Hope is what I need to help my past lay.
