Abigail Maynard

They say breathe in and out, it’s just that simple.
What about those, who find this hard to come by?
Obviously, we don’t have any of our own devises.

They say go where you want, there’s nothing stopping you son.
But I feel like you’re not telling me something.
I hear the weight of the wars on my shoulders, and part of it’s yours.

I want to be free.
I want to be loved.
I want to be seen for where I am.

You’re not a broken man, because you’re wounded.
You’re not sick, because you don’t feel well.
You’re not unloved despite your efforts.
You are not far from my hand.

I know, you can’t walk this thing alone.
I know, you will want me when.

I want to be free.
You want to be loved.
We want to be seen for where we are.

We’re kindred souls, not walking alone.

I want to be free.
You want to be loved.
We want to be seen for where we are.
