Worthy

You skip and you promenade and I find your footprints all over my heart. I have seen your smiles and I have seen your tears, so when you pull your strings to the ground, caging yourself in your world of insults, I break. You prize beauty but you have forgotten your own worth. I don’t know what to tell you, how do I make you believe that the skin is not a soul, and that your blemishes are not your flaws? I could tell you that your eyes’ earnest and your lips’ gentleness will let go of all your threads and free you. I could tell you it all but how much will you hear and how much will you listen? When every moment you have been cascaded with the demons and the devils and the ones that believed in revenge not forgiveness? I will be here for you through the torrent and the thunder and the sound of your own mind driving you insane. I will ask you to stay a while, you, the girl with the stolen smile. You call me heartbroken but I find you soul broken. I am afraid you have forgotten the little girl you were, and I want you to rid yourself of all your expectations, for they have been nothing but poison. So recover your composure, this time of the world has been the Dark Days, but you have overcome and you will overcome, and when the time comes, you can be a hero or you can be a coward, and I can’t help but want to save you, the girl who will save the world.
