Resistant

I did what anyone would do
When they don't speak the language
I kept quiet and read their faces
I spoke in short stunted phrases
For a long time
And I was frustrated

How long will it take me to learn
To build something stable and strong
Resistant to the burn

I didn't think I was an addict
And I never heard codependent til I heard it in a joke
But once I finally really fucking had it
Swinging from the end of my rope
I found a way to come home

How long will it take me to learn
To build something stable and strong
Resistant to the burn

Something rises in my body
And makes me shake
It's something I was shown
Something that has grown with me
And it's gonna take some time to calm down

How long will it take me to learn
To be something stable and strong
Resistant to the burn

How long will it take me to earn it
Something stable and strong
