i am that which
awaits your welcome

i am that which awaits your welcome

i am all you are afraid of
i am all that you discount
i am all the unforgiven
i am all those who don't count
i am all the unincluded
i am the ones you're better than
i am the ones you've never known
i am the ones you've always avoided

i am the ones with stupid causes
i am the ones that you resist
i am the ones you disagree with
i am the ones you never missed
i am the ones that didn't belong
i am that which you never liked
i am those you disregarded
i am the one that wasn't nice

i am the one who was too needy
i am the one who didn't care
i am the one that hurt too deeply
i am the one that paid the price
i am the one who was forgotten
i am the one who finally gave up
i am the one who tried too hard
i am the one who had to leave

i am the one who begged you
i am the one that lost the most
i am the one who tried to take it all
i am the one who wanted more
i am the one you didn't understand
i am the one who never meant it
i am the one who never knew
i am the one who didn't make it

i never gave up hoping that
one day you'd really want me
i have no deeper desire than
that you truly recognize me
i am that which awaits your welcome
to be transformed back into love

so i can return
return
return to all of me

i am all that awaits recognition
i am here to meet you now
not below or above or anyplace else

but starkly in this truth

of all that i am

and fiercely i still love you
i have forever for you to come
