You only get that moment
Make it count
Say it, say it all.
Don’t worry about being nice
Regret will cause
You to ruminate
On what you should have
Said or done, too late.
Use time wisely, cunningly
Be authentic, be bold…
The sun always rises,
But never on the same day twice.
Oh, I am so stupidly politely,
And this lion roars in me
That I hold back because
I don’t want to bite you
I have torn to shreds those I love
And they leave, broken.
I am tired of letting anger
Break bonds amongst us.
Let me speak plainly:
Tell him, her, it hurt you-
If they don’t care, what do you lose?
If they do care, what do you gain?
Say I love you, I want you, I can’t anymore.
Look them in the eye
So that they know you see them
And tell them how much they mean.
Put it all out on the table.
Be brave even if you
Feel your heart collapsing,
Your stomach churning,
Your body trembling.
Don’t muzzle your roar, love.
Let your heart stand and speak-
They will never be HERE to listen again.
