I See You

How long has it been since I first met you?

I still look at your picture,

Seeing the dreams shine like a glaze over your eyes,

You, who were supposed to be laughing, and dancing through life,

Cuddled in a corner of the room, tears streaming down your face,

Hair tangled and heartbroken in unexplainable ways,

I see you.

I see you trying to hold yourself together,

Every single day as the world stands against you,

Pushing you down every time you get back up,

Every single day that your thoughts engulfed your existence,

Every single day that you were lost within the shadows,

Every single day that you screamed helplessly,

Waiting for that one ray of hope,

One nod of understanding,

One hold of love,

I see you.

I see you waiting endlessly,

I see you holding the happy memories close to your heart,

Just in case you lose them again,

I see you.

I wish you could see it too,

How far you will eventually come,

You will laugh and smile too,

You'd love your life and thank the circumstances,

That you'd be free too,

I wish I could show you,

How strong you'd become,

How beautiful you'll be,

How attractive your personality will turn out to be,

That you'd become an inspiration for others,

That you'd find love too,

I wish I could show you,

That one day... everything will be alright.

Be strong. Be strong.
