I am so jaded by the fact that you're not okay
I am so sad that you put on a facade most days
I am so deceived by your smile because it's just a phase
I am so concerned that you feel like life is a tireless maze

You are so young and you have so much time
You are so beautiful and utterly sublime
You are so sad, it should be a crime
You are so capable and you could shine

You are so wrong about your life
I am so sure that you can endure the strife
You are so strong to endure what cuts like a knife
Remember I love you, remember it's all apart of life.
I have a friend who seems to struggle and he doesn't realize how wonderful he is, or how great his life is. Granted I don't empathize with his pain and I don't want to belittle it, but I wish he saw what I see when I look at him. I adore him and he's growing into a stellar young man. I'm proud of him and I wish he understood that someone loves him when he doesn't love himself.
