Hurts to Grow

Rescue. 
Isn't that what I need?
I've been waiting here,
Patiently.

Shelter
From the falling world,
Threatening to drown
This girl.

But maybe I was meant
to sink
To the bottom of everything
I think,
And drown in the softest Love
I'll ever know.
I'm learning.
Sometimes it hurts
to grow.

Valleys
Teach us everything.
We don't need to fly
To see.

Strength comes
When you lay down your might.
You don't have to fight
For peace.

So, maybe this time
We bleed.
Wounds heal.
Scars mark history.
Even though sometimes it hurts
To grow,
We're learning.
We're stronger than
We know.
