In best friends ranting, laughing, loving
That talking is another form of giving
And that giving can quickly devolve to shoving
My line is where I am a spring loaded nod
A mechanical yes
And a hug that springs like a wound up jack.
You don't need me.
The person you're missing
That you're trying to get closer
It's a happy you- not me
I know that person so I talk to them
Translate your self hate in a way
To make it known that your smile isn't fake
That this stone isn't set and it's what you make
I give you hope and dawn to night
Seeing me is a glimpse across time
That you know I can see outside of you
You know to believe me when I say s'alright.
I say what I do because I do see you
Beautiful, strong, maturing before you're due
I try so hard to tell you, to explain you to you..
For once look in your soul, not in his bones for your sketch
You're walking a path that's your outline
Follow it with your mind and understand the bumps and ridges defined
You're just a child learning to spell your name inside
But now in the light of the moon: Speak it.
You will stand like a mountainous rivet in the earth
Here you are and there you stay regardless of the world
People are busy sliding blocks around
Your wedge is your voice: Move them.
When you're ready you'll find peace,
It's that thing above and below your feet
If you is everything in between
So mote it be.
You see
Strength doesn't require others' sympathy
It's a path with your will that you carve
Where you know when you're close because it's almost too far
Bitch me out, feather and tar
You've got friends for your down, I'm here for the hard.
