Right With Myself

I don't want to pretend

I just want to defend

Everyone whose been

Down and out

I don't want to fight

I want all to be right

And never have to 

Struggle with doubt

I want to reach for the stars

And scream from afar

That life is much better 

Not worse

But first

I have to be right with myself

I want to break from my chains

I want to run in the rain

And do what was meant

From the start

I want to give all my love

I want to praise the Lord above

And show what I can do

With my heart

I want to do it all

And I don't want to fall

Or wait for my feelings

To burst

But first

I have to be right with myself

I want to say yes I can

I want to hold someone's hand

And let someone

Hold on to mine

I want to say in the end

I was a good friend

And I did my best

To be kind

I want to have a happy home

I don't want to die alone

I want to stand up and say

I'm not cursed

But first

I have to be right with myself

[Curly Grace]

This feels like a quiet reaching toward wholeness. The repeated "right with myself" lands like a gentle truth the heart keeps circling back to. The wants are tender, human, hopeful... and the honesty gives them weight.
