I looked into your eyes and saw your pain,
It was as brisk as a mid-summer rain.
There was so much that you could’ve said,
So many sweat and tears you have bled.
You’ve made choices that some might call a mistake,
But the sincerity in your heart was never fake.
You’ve walked through storms and oftentimes nobody cared,
In places you wandered, that many others would have feared.
You’ve wandered down a path that was sometimes dark,
But what you’ve always wanted was for light to embark.
People do not always see you for what is in your heart,
They point and judge right from the start.
But I know that there is a great truth in who you are,
There is a magical story behind each and every scar.
People really need to take the time to understand your inner beauty,
With all of humanity, treating others like this should be our duty.
You see, I also know that sometimes choices are made,
We grasp at poison, because if not we feel we would fade.
We walk barefoot across a pit of fire,
But in our hearts, there is something better we desire.
Life is full of choices, but many are unfair.
We do what we need to do, even when others may glare.
With all that being said, the truth must be told,
You deserve much better, but the world can still be cold.
Just know that sometimes those who judge you are really afraid,
Their judgments are self-reflections that feel as sharp as a blade.
They want to bring you down to the cold ground,
But if you looked inside them, great sadness would be found.
Such is one of life’s greatest laws.
A great white light will crush the darkness when at you it claws.
As you walk through the darkness, remember by this light you will also be followed,
One day it will overcome the dark terror, and it will be completely swallowed.
So remember that when people don’t take the time to understand your mind,
The darkness that flees from you will, to them it will find.
It will wrap itself around them and try to hide it’s sinister grip,
But the light will find it once again and through it, it will rip.
Remember, there is always hope for those who seem cruel,
Because forever over darkness, light will rule.
If you don’t believe me, strike a match in a dark room,
Once your strike the match, brightness will bloom.
Remember, never give up hope in anything,
And trust what that light that follows you will bring.
