I Dare You

I wrote this for my mom............

I dare you to tell me the truth
to tell me all you've said are not lies
to look me in the eyes
I dare you to tell me I'm not your kind.

I dare you to take a look around
to tell me you enjoy this life
to tell me you enjoy being his wife
I dare you to tell me you're happy with where you are in life.

I dare you to tell me you don't regret
to tell me when you look back what you felt
to tell me you don't regret the hand you've been dealt
I dare you to tell me your mistakes are nothing.

I dare you to tell me you haven't put everyone else first
to tell me the dream syou've sought
to tell me that all you've given up is not my fault
I dare you to tell me you're not scared to fulfill your dreams.

I dare you to tell me you're not my role model
to tell me all you've done for me
to tell me that you haven't shown me the woman I want to be
I dare you to tell me I don't look up to you.

I dare you to tell me I don't love you
to tell me you haven't cared for me all these years
to tell me you haven't given me the courage to face my fears
I dare you to tell me you're the reason I'm not scared.

Now I dare you to go out into the world again
to face the fact that I'm mostly grown
to listen to the poem you've been shown
I dare you to take courage and fulfill your dreams.

kinda harsh at the begining but it makse sense toward the end. giving someone courage is a hard thing to do, some might call it an over bearing job and most feel like its not worth it. But I think it is, all you have to do is try.
