Limited

My heart aches

I love and try

But I know I have limits

Due to fear

You hit me where it hurts

I take the blows

And no one knows the struggle I have

I would have loved to be the one

Innocent joyous and free

But life stole a lot of that from me

And I am trying my very best

To find my way

Back to a place where

I can trust in love

So if I falter

Along the way

With each new step I take

Please be patient and tender

I am trying my best

But I have limits

And a trusting heart that was burned

One too many times

Sometimes feels fragile

And hopes for so much more life

Than it will probably ever

Have the possibility of knowing
