Brother With a Familiar Cover

Most look at the cover and never bother to open the book What a way to go through life, everyone they meet judged at first look Their ignorance can’t weigh heavy on your heart, you deserve more You must be confident in who you are, spread your wings and soar I have walked in your shoes as many others, understanding just how you feel Your true happiness you can no longer allow them to steal I see who you are despite the world’s perception of your cover Those who are strong will break down your wall and truly discover We are all human which allows us to make mistakes Caring what others think will break you, too high of stakes Live right by all, the reflection you see will be proud Ignore the judgments of others, find the silver lining in each cloud When all is said and done you know how hard you’ve strived After all, the hardest part of your life you already survived Stay on the path you have chosen, with God by your side you can’t lose A genuinely happy soul, simply depends on what you choose
