Poem
Hey you, I know what you are going through Trying to stand tall and strong While a deep rooted pain arising from within Is eating you from the inside You don’t know what is causing it You don’t know how long it will hurt But through all the pain and hopelessness You still smile Hey you, I see the tear stains on your cheeks even after you brush them away I wish you wore them with pride Like battle scars or war paint For every moment when you don’t give in to those thoughts running in your head You become a warrior Hey you, I know self-worth is a foreign concept for you You think you are not good enough for them For her For your dreams Or for life itself But you are wrong They are waiting with open arms She is waiting with an open heart Life is waiting with all the opportunities you desire Let them in For if they thought they didn’t deserve you They wouldn’t be waiting For the moment when you are ready Hey you, I know those days of hopelessness When the pain becomes too much When you feel like running away From everyone and everything When you feel like running away From yourself Just remember No matter what Come back home Hey you, I know those times When you think too much Worry too much And don’t want to fight anymore During those times, just remember It will be fine How do I know? Because I have been through it too Carrying the burden of the world’s opinions On my shoulders I lived every moment in anxiety Had trouble sleeping through the night Even though my nightmares felt more comforting than reality I felt alone and defeated too I had been broken But then I learnt To sing a little louder To dance a little crazily To let go of the burden of other’s opinions And most importantly To laugh a little more freely I have learnt That I don’t always have to be the best Just the best version of me That I don’t always have to be strong That I shouldn’t be scared to cry And wear my scars with pride As they have made me stronger So here I stand Waiting for you with an open heart So let me share your burden and lighten your shoulders Let me give you a light if it feels to dark and cold Let me make you a warm cup of tea for I know you are tired I just want you to know You will be ok So hang in there And enjoy this moment Spring is right around the corner
