I Can
I can see so many things
The outfit that you have on
The clothes on your bed
The pink headband on your head
I can see the smile on your face
But also the pain in your grace
Pain from not knowing your true beauty
You look at me everyday
I show you your beauty but you don't acknowledge it, you look away
I cannot tell you that your beautiful because I have no voice
So, I have no choice but to stay silent
A mirror can only show you the truth but never speak it out loud
You should be proud
I can only hope that one day
That you find a way
To speak love, joy and victory into your life
No more strife
Even a mirror can want you to be free
Once you free yourself from your pain
Can you do me a favor?
Can you free me from this frame?
Then we both can be free
