I know you think I don’t know you That the version I see is a lie That you can never change or grow No matter how hard you try

You can’t always see the light you wield How brightly it shines how far it reaches

You made a friend You grew close together Spending so much time living your lives with one another

It’s hard to be you to be honest, be true when people want you to change when they only see you as strange

It’s okay to be weak You’re allowed a break Sometimes life is too much to take

Even on the days when the people you love aren’t there Know that wherever they are they all still care

Even when I feel scared or the many times I feel unprepared I want to open up, I want you to see The person I am, the real me

Not long ago You were always alone And no matter how you tried Nothing seemed to change that

You think there’s so much wrong with you That no one could possibly accept the real you So you bury it all deep down below Where no one will ever be able to go But despite everything “wrong”, you can still sparkle Because you see, all of this is completely normal

Everything was beautiful Bright, happy, colorful Full of sparkling, magical wonder I started to smile again Thought that maybe I could fit in And the joy would chase away the thunder Gone were the storms I’d known for so long And I believed with my whole being that I could belong
