The scars on your skin
Grow to be consistent
With the feelings you conceal.

Though I see changes
Through the ones you disclose.
A sense of contentment.

Happiness is a distant memory,
But one that's brought closer
Through every struggle you conquer.

Each step feels minor,
but progress is progress,
so don't raise that white flag.

I'm by your side always,
Your friend and brother.

You're a seed without light,
an Ever-Growing Wonder.
