Shattered Soul, Hidden Beauty

If I told you that you were beautiful

The words would fall on deaf ears

I know that deep inside you know there’s worth

That there is more than what you see

When you look into that mirror

But what I say doesn’t really matter

Because it is what your heart tells you

That will always be the truth to you.

Within you wells so much love for others

But I beg you to show yourself some kindness

And let this love be applied to yourself

You give and give for others

Until there is nothing left

I fear that you will be fragmented

Like a broken mirror

Shards of the angel that you truly are.

Learn to hold your head high

Look past the scars and pain

Find the moment in which it hurts

And embrace it and the fear that it comes with

You are seconds from defeating it

Seeing through the darkness

Which closes in around you

But this is something you must do

Something that only you can do

You must just believe in yourself.

I do not have words that can heal your void

Or make the world right again

But I know the one who does: you.

Only you can do this

But remember that you aren’t alone.

You will never be alone

Regardless of what you think

And forever, I will hold you as high as I can

Just let me in from the darkness you think

That you are saving me from

Because I promise you

I’ve seen darker places than you’ll ever know.

I do not fear for you

Because I know what you can do

I know who you really are

Don’t ever forget that

You may be able to hide

But I know the true face behind the mask

And it is more beautiful

Than anyone can ever know.

Be strong, you have more strength than you admit

You can do anything you wish

Just remember to fly

I will always be here to catch you, should you fall.
