when adoration turns to inspiration
if you can't believe in yourself,
you can leave the task to me
when you're feeling worthless
know that you matter to me
because when i look at the world,
your soul is all i see
human race,
you're honest
even when you don't want to be
i want you to know
that you're like the stars
i'll never reach
you're special
like hidden seashells under the beach
and i love you
like a brother, like a sister,
like an ocean, like a river
my heart can no longer stay locked
inside this cage of bones
no longer trapped
in the world of a darkness
that i've always known,
but it's only because I met the one
who gave us his life so he could mold
the key
I met him
and I said show me, please
what you need me to see
and he showed me
that you- are the same as me
that being said,
if you can't see your beauty,
let me be the glasses
let me be the antenna
when all you feel
is static
it's almost automatic
the way I want to know your story
the moment our paths cross,
our eyes lock
and it doesn't last long,
but then you're stuck in my head
like a favorite song
I don't know you yet
I don't know your name
but I know we- are the same
we're connected,
like the clouds made of rain
we share our victories
and empathize with our pains.
I don't know you yet
but I want to know
all your dreams,
I want to read
through your fake smiles like a book
even if pages are falling out
because of worn out seams
I know it's hard to keep it together
in this world full of broken things,
when you love yourself
the world tells you to stop
I'm here to tell you
that every lie you’ve ever
told yourself
is trying to turn you
into someone you're not,
your brain screams "stupid"
your nerves yell "weak"
the world asks you what's wrong
but you're just too tired to speak,
too tired of fighting,
too tired of feeling this empty
and bleak
please,
come with me
there’s someone that I need
you to meet
and they're beautiful,
they're human
and they make me
complete, but you don't want to come
and you can't shake away
the defeat, and I know
there isn't much I can do
so I lay this mirror
at your feet- hoping
one day you'll pick it up
so you end up face to face
with the beauty
that inspires me.
