Baby,
I know you think you're horrible
And that the way you are is unmanageable
You are filled with self hate
Chock- full of self doubt
You haven't had much experience
Don't really know what life is about
You're not the same as your peers
Always feeling a sense of dismay and fear
You let it get the best of you
Most would categorize you as rude and unkind
Inexperienced, cynical, and behind
But the truth of the matter is
They don't know you like I know you
They don't know that when you love
You love wholeheartedly
They're unaware of the passion that lives within you
The fire in your heart and in your soul
The practice of determination and control
You're an artist
With your sketches and your rhymes
You're an athlete
With your many skateboard rides
You're a lover, not a fighter
And for that
I've wanted you for a long time
Because you're the most loyal
The most generous and caring soul
That's why we mesh so well
It's like we're equal
Don't let the facts of life bring you down
I have you, you have me
The heart of life is good
And I pray one day you'll see
