Untitled Three.

Can you read my mind?

Can you tell by the look in my eyes?
I'm not the same as I was
Back when we met.
We're not so different,
But we're not so alike, either.
You see you in me,
But there's another side of me.
I know you see who I am,
I know you see past all the pain.
You see the real me,
That was hidden inside.
No longer holding on
To all that had been lost.
To let it go,
To put it past.
I never thought
I'd be able to feel so free.
Free me, life.
Free me, love.
Don't dwell on that
Which will bring you down.
Do what's best
For that heart of yours.
We'll be what we were meant to.
Don't go thinking that this was a waste of time.
Don't let them forget you.
Chin up, dear one.
When you're broken and bruised,
You may feel vulnerable.
You get stronger when you heal, young one.
You'll get smarter, wiser, and stronger.
Just keep that chin up, kid, and hope for the best.
