i don’t understand you
but i’d really like to know
what it is that makes you smile
and how i can help you grow

it’s hard for me to see you blue
i really want to comfort you
but even when you're navy blue
i promise, i still i love you

it’s not your fault for feeling down
if you take a look around
the world is a lil ****** right now
the world in which you nearly drowned

branded with a burden not yours,
names you never earned
stories that were written wrong
you can still re-write your own

people who come from pain and strife
and still can smile at strangers
are the strongest people in this world
to me these people are angels

you’ve grown a garden of your own
built kindness from neglect
and still you offer flowers
to those you’ve barely met

we’re all broken to some extent
and we must pick up the pieces
i know you’ve tried it much before
and felt the blizzards freezes

so i’m here to let you know
you won’t have to do it alone
i want to greet your demons
and understand their reasons

i can’t fix what wasn’t broken by me
and no mending needs to be sewn
but i can sit with you in silence
until the silence feels like home

broken things can still be changed
transformed into something new
whichever pieces are missing
i’ll help you find a few
but only if you want me to!

the gentle yet strong human inside
is waiting to be seen
maybe you feel it trembling there
maybe you hear it scream

I’m lucky to see him every day
he makes me laugh my worries away

I hope i can do the same for you
I hope i can take away some blue
for B
who reminds me every day that - “strength isn’t the absence of pain, but the courage to be kind despite it.”
