For as long as I can remember, I have felt misplaced
Yearning for acceptance, but also no desire to be embraced

My biggest wish is to give all of me
To empty my heart for all to see

You taught me to believe in myself
You taught me the importance of family
For as long as I can remember
You have always been by my side
You are one of the few people in my life
Who I will always consider a true friend....
