You tried so hard to find something That describes who and what you are But that’s not how life works, not really You might as well try to count every star

When you’re alone and scared thinking that no one cares I’ll show you that’s not true because I’m here for you

I close my eyes and feel the soft breeze right in this moment I’m at peace

Life’s dealt us all a bad hand of cards tearing us to pieces breaking us into shards

You ran and tripped and fell down And you can’t get up off the ground You’re always so full of regret So many things just make you so upset All those thoughts don’t make you bad Dry your tears, please don’t be sad Lean on me when you’re tired from the fight And always remember that it’s you that I like

I know you don’t always think that you’re all that much that you’re something special you don’t see yourself as such

It’s so easy to hide the best parts of yourself because you’re convinced that no one will understand

There are people in this world who will flash a big, kind smile while at the same time they hold a knife behind their back

(For Shawn T)

You lifted us up You helped us to fly You were there when we celebrated You held us when we cried

There was a time when friends for whom you cared drifted away, making you think “I am forgettable”
