&quot;I&#039;d rather be hated for what I am than loved for what I am not.&quot; -Kurt Cobain<br /> &quot;you know my name, but you don&#039;t know my story.&quot;<br /> &quot;The only true mistake is the one you don&#039;t learn from.&quot;

My trials were never lonesome
For you held me
With ever protest,
You reveal upon request
Make my heart renewed

I called out in anger
Believing I was alone
"Are you even here? I thought you'd catch me when I'd fall."
With my last strand of hope
And all of the pain I could take
You reached out and touched my heart
With every protest and teardrop
You heal upon request

My eyes are opened
And I am filled with your love and prescience
Fear no more, for I have a lifelong companion
Ready to catch me if I should stumble
This life, marked with suffering

But I am led through the dark tunnel
Trust is all I possess
When the enemies prevail,
You hold me
