Love Poem: What Would You Do

What Would You Do

If my life was on the line, what would you do?
Would you ride for me, be willing to get blood on you?
Would you give me a hug, if I gave all of my love to you
If the world was against us, what would you do?

Drama, pain, heartbreak, that's just the world I've been born in
Gained scars, wounds and torn limbs
Going through losses, helped me to form wins
I killed my suicidal thoughts, and my mind was born again

I came undone with my pride
It showed me the wrong way, took me down the wrong path
Trying to train my thoughts, but it was a long track 
Got here alone i Never had someone by my side

I don't trust many, I find it so hard to open up
Would you be willing to try and fix someone so broken up?
If I let you in, would you promise to stick it out with me?
Would you have my back, even when the world is doubting me?

Would you look past my scars?, Could you see beneath my flaws
Would you accept if I lost the race, regardless of how long I was leading for?
Would you have a weapon ready, to help me take on depression
Would you read every rhyme I write on a page with acceptance?

Do you see the good in me, even though I'm hard work?
Trying to paint pictures with poetry, and make it artwork
Could you understand that sometimes I'm happy but still create a dark verse?
Would you be the bandage if this world makes my scars worse?

What would you do if I said I loved you?
Would you push me away, or ask me to hug you?
Am I worthy of the chance? Do you think I could be right for you?
If I told you all of this, what would you do?
