All That I Needed Poem by Chris Leermakers

I'm sorry for the pain
I'm sorry for my rain
I finally know who I am
you never forgot
who I really was
I just took a long time
finally found my true self
i'm sorry for the stress
yes, I'm sorry for the distress

I was just a little stressed
just a little distressed
that you would be
taken advantage of
maybe fooled by
some snakes that never rest

I'll always care
always known your true hearts
as I have from the start
in that time
and over time
sometimes lazy
sometimes
not gentle enough for you
still living in the fast lane
when It was the right time
to slow down

I would never lie to you
It was me causing your explosions
no fault of yours anywhere
once still trying to support me
still trying, not letting me
go in your heart
but I was the one who was corroding
and should have
could have
easily fixed it from the start
I guess I never got that part

Over time, you all will see
the real truth about me
I'm not worried anymore
your own intelligence
will let you see,
what you need to see
that I'm a friend
with no evil agenda
A friend around the corner
yeah It's still me

Whenever you need me
I'll always be there
be there for you, my children
anytime and anywhere
let it be known
you can depend on me
see? It's still just me

Nothing here
nothing said today
is just a line
it's all about the truth
and In the end
this should be fine
all i needed was time
time to heal
and time to deal
like we all already know
all that I needed
was time to heal.

Now that most, but not all
has been said
that needs to be spoken
as you know now
some things In me
have always awoken
yeah never really broken
when all is said and done
There Is Nothing Lost
Yeah 'when all is said and done
there is
no love lost'.
