Shaking in my words
Flying with your colors
Killing you with verbs
Our nouns are secret lovers
Breaking off my shell
Keeling back these layers
I'm open, vulnerable
Focused in on failure
I need to believe we can't
Fail in DBT
Although invalidating environment
Is constant, judging me
I am a dialectic
Contradiction, always there
My emotions are so hectic
So I can't even hear
How much you really love me
How much you really care
There's something you should see
Something you should know
My emotions are intense
And they will always show
But the principle behind this
The facts we need to learn
We can live with it
With emotions that beg and yearn
Yearn to do both good and bad
Telling me I feel happy, sad
So listen to me now, I tell you something true
I can cope with pain, with help from you.
