You are the goddamned sharpshooter

You're brave and all,
but that’s not what defines you,
mind you, 

it blinds you, sometimes.

You don’t want to be weak,
that’s why you speak
for what you know is right.
Each night, it might, get hard,
in those late hours, when it gets dark;
not outside, but inside your head.
So you run from the house,
you run from your bed.
You think if you run you’ll get away, be okay,
I’m here, so you know,
it’s okay to stay,
and it will always be this way.

You need to trust me,
the way that I trust you.
You need to see
that you've got nothing to prove. 

You don’t give yourself enough time,
you feel disinclined, you get behind,
you breakdown. 

I’m here to turn it around.
To motivate,
wipe the slate,
stop the hate,
whatever it takes.
You will do amazing things,
no matter what the stakes,
because you’re the goddamned sharpshooter,
and you’re not defined by your mistakes.
