Heart

I never said this would be easy
I never told you life would be fair
I know that sometimes you feel all alone
And it feels like I'm not there

You've been in pain and struggled
For as long as you can remember
Just hang in there a little while longer
On the other side, things will be better

You want to be loved for who you are
Not just the cards you've been dealt
But you live in a world full of cruelty
That pushes on your strength with doubt

Aching for normality
Why did this happen to you?
Forget about what's on the outside
Let them see right through

Your inner strength speaks volumes
That no book could ever hold
Thanks for being courageous when others are weak
Thanks for being bold
