The uncomfortable smile
that you wear on your face
Your self confessed klutzness
and perceived lack of grace
The things that you say
and the things that you do
are just some of the things
I like about you
Like the stillest of waters
you run so deep
and the words that you share
are the treasures I'll keep
You're honest and modest
and fragile yet strong
and yet so uncertain
of where you belong
Let go of your past
leave your baggage behind
and trust in your heart
and just see what you find
You may be surprised
at how good things can be
If you let yourself go
let yourself become free
