A Poem from the Heart

The sun shines today.
That's the truth in every possible way.
I think I'm getting close to figuring out who I am,
And don't think I'm trying to pull some kind of sham.
I truly believe I'm learning who I'm supposed to be.
I know it's taken a long time for me to finally see.

I don't think I would have been able to do it without you two;
Look at how much you invested in me, and now look at how much I grew.
I thought that would be something I would want you to know, 
And that no matter what has happened you still teach me to grow.
You have always been and will continue to be there when I'm in need,
Especially when I'm down in the dirt and left there to bleed. 

I'm sorry for anything I've done to make you hurt;
Even if it was something I said so curt.
You both know I usually mean no harm.
I may have only meant it as a shot in the arm.
I've never been very good with human interaction,
And it's something I struggle with and it's never given me satisfaction.

Both of you give me some sort of worth,
And when I'm floating away you pull me back down to earth.
You know I'm not one for sharing my emotions;
Even if I feel like crying enough to fill up all the oceans.

I'm sure you already know but you have changed me,
Because I no longer keep them all under lock and key.
I thank you for all that you've done,
And it has actually helped me in the long run.

No matter how far we are pulling apart; 
I hope that we never ever have to depart.
I can't thank you enough for being my friend,
And for all the wounds that you mend.
Life won't always be great, 
But I know that I have two wonderful people to help lift the weight.

Thank you so much from my innermost being,
And for staying instead of fleeing.
