To the You That Lives In Me

Self-encouragement is one of the best kinds of encouragement.

I watch you lay your head on the corner desk pushed away

Tired of another day, silent tears spill from your eyes

What happened to the one I use to know so long ago?

Who would have known you would have become like this, just you?

I stood up and looked down at your sad face

As I cupped your chin and stared at your dead eyes

I see myself, a faded image staring back at me

Hey, when will you try to pick yourself up again?

What happened to the songs etched in your heart?

Not the false words scribbled in your mind

Can I take your hand and we will stand again side by side?

I say to you as I point to your heart

The same one who holds the hands of the hopeless who cry in their sleep

Feels the same way, a bitter way of understanding their pain

How can you bring back their blurred faces after they were kicked away

Yet you cannot seem to find your own lost light you once had?

You who smiled so often it outshone the sun

Has been dulled from your rainbow to monochrome

So they were mean, but how I miss your colors

Hey, when will you try to pick yourself up again? Please?

Is it not scary to not recognize yourself

With the false words scribbled in your mind?

Can I take your hand and we will stand again as a whole?

I say to you as I point to your heart

The colorful umbrella you tied up and hid away 

You were afraid it would get destroyed just like you

So why not open it and show the world its colors

With the strength to smile again

Sing to what is encoded in your soul

Erase the scribbled lies from your rebooted mind

Can I take your hand and we will stand again no matter the wind?

I say to you as I touch your dusty heart

Light breaks its way to the truth in your soul

Your eyes come alive and I wave to the you in me

I missed such feelings, but I never forgot just how they felt

I say as I point to my own reflection

I say to me as as I point to my heart
