Take My Hand

Yet,
I will fly away
At night,
Or in a day,
I'm the light,
Or in a way.

Tell me,
Will you come with me?
Take me,
My hand, take it
My bad, take it.
Will you,
Take me,

My good, take it,
My gentleness, take it.
My calmness, take it.

Will you handle it?
My madness?
My chaos?
My brokenness?
My worries?
My fears?

Because, I'll take you,
All of you.
