I don’t think you realize
How beautiful
You really are
You just don’t see yourself
from the inside out
The way that I do
you don’t know
That you glide through life
Like a school of marlins
safely from a rocky shores at sunset
That when happiness
You feel like sips of lemonade on a park bench with blue jays chirping from the branches above us
You are so comfortable in where you are
At all times
like cool denim jeans and hands held with sticky fingers from left over cotton candy
on a fall festival Ferris wheel
That when your heart is broken
the turquoise waves of your tears
Flood the hearts of many
Devastating all that
Stand just a little too close to the the force
of your tides
Don’t forget these days
Young one
You know that days like these are few and far between
So look in the mirror
And start seeing you
In all your glory
And maybe
Bit by bit
and day by day
You can start to see what I see
