How can I help you understand
The beauty that I see
When I look at you?
What can I do
To make you realize
That your spirit radiates a child-like energy that simply cannot be replaced?
What can I give you
To make you feel as loved as you actually are
Even if you don't always feel it?
How am I supposed to tell you
That the pain that you feel is so valid
But it doesn't make you as weak as you feel, and that you are strong?
What can I do but listen?
To the horrors of your past
And do my best to assist you in finding a better environment for your future?
Who must I introduce you to
In order for you to truly comprehend
That this boy who says he loves you really doesn't?
How do I persuade you
To take the necessary and incredibly difficult steps
To free yourself of this crippling addiction?
What do I say
To convince you that there are so many people
That would be devastated and broken if you were gone?
What will make you see
That there is so much promise in your future
And that your current mistakes will not stop you from achieving?
How can I approach you
When the words you use to express your feelings about life
Make me feel like you have already given up?
How am I supposed to try to make you believe
That your life
Is worth living?
Striving to be better. http://sincerely-soallowed.tumblr.com/
