is that what it is?
fill in the blank spaces
when a person is lacking and down
but isn't it what we are
for one another during tough times
lift one another when we are sad
and when others are not around?
how to find the balance
how to keep some self-respect
how to not let them come in
and take all that I have left
he was so sweet to her
even when she felt like death
lifting her up and helping her
and respecting her for her depth
only to run when things got tough
but isn’t it everyone's right to escape?
we've limits when over our head
even when we are left
make it make sense
when life is so full of neglect
and every person comes trying to match me
but for what is it all for, then?
someones knocking at her door
he's new and kind and making her laugh
and she's scared and trying to hide
because she knows to expect
she's filling a spot for now
and giving lessons to make them better
and he'll take what he's learned
and be refined for another
call me the teacher, then
I guess that's what I'm good for
I've lessons and instructions that tear you open
and put you back together
show you how to work a bit more
what to value, and what's worth living for
build you up, and let you fly
and then live trying not to watch for the sky
