it kills me
every time
you say you’re not
good enough,
you’re so loved
and you deserve it all,
you’ve shared stories
with me
that few eyes get to read,
and i wish
there was an easy way
to say how much you mean,
not just to me,
but to so many.
fighting all the battles
you’ve been forced to face,
yet you’re still here today,
doing your best
to keep a smile
on your face,
even when life tries
to erase it,
you’ve got the kind of strength
i wish i could have,
independent and smart
and unapologetically “you,”
and i wish you didn’t
have to deal with
as much as you do.
i just wanna wipe
that tear
from your eye,
help you hold your head
up high,
it’s a trying time,
but i want to do
what i can
to help you see
the light
on the other side of life.
you’ve been through so much
and the year’s just started,
you’re tired
because all these battles
have left you jaded,
i wish i could help you
take the weight off
that brain of yours,
carried it to the chest
out of fear
it would bother them,
but i promise
it’s not a burden.
rest your weary head
on my shoulder,
i’ll keep you safe,
the demons
won’t invade this space,
it’s been tough,
but there’ll be better days,
i’m here for you
the whole way,
and i’ll do all that i can
to make sure you’re okay.
