I would cling to your side happily content to be with you.
So strong nothing could touch me, your comforting words.
I had no reason to ever doubt them, you were never wrong.

My perfect idol so confident funny and independent.
Always fighting a cause of some kind, always winning.
Everything about you was something I admired.

I was so young blinded by my love for you, foolish.
All the confidence and humour was just a shield.
To protect the depression and insecurity's you faced.

Now I understand, my admiration has only grown for you.
That you kept up that façade constantly not faltering once.
All of it to provide a childhood for me, You are selfless perfect.
