I'll be blunt

I’m normally quite calm
But now I find reason
To show a little force
To show a different season

You may not be prepared
So I’ll tell you up front
I’m not your nice warm summer
I’m going to be blunt

You may call me a hypocrite
And perhaps that is true
But I’m going to tell you something
That you may think is new

That image in the mirror
Is just a flat out lie
That person that you see
That makes you want to cry

So let me be your eyes
And show you what is real
‘Cause you will find the truth
Is rarely what you feel

I’ll start this off quite simple
We’re not just yet complex
I’ll start off with a topic
That I do think does vex

I know the words you utter
The common slanderous rant
That your image is flawed
Well I now say you can’t

You cannot speak such lies
Though you may not know you’re wrong
Excuse me if it seems
That I come on too strong

But I will now be bold
In what I shall no show
In truth you’re really pretty
Believe me, I know

Your eyes they show compassion
Yet something else is there
Your soul contains a fire
That proves you really care

Your hairstyle shows it as well
The style that you hold
What ever made you how you are
There’s no longer the mold

So please I ask believe me
When I say that you look good
You really are that pretty
Believe me, ‘cause you should

In addition to your beauty
You’re also so much more
Though you may not yet realize
I know what it’s for

Your soul I think is perfect
Your will stands strong and tall
And you show a certain beauty
When you refuse to fall

You’ve made a few wrong choices
I think we’ve all been there
Our feelings breaking through the wall
I don’t mind if you share

And certain things have happened
And you have felt hurt
You’ve probably felt alone
With tear stains on your shirt

But through all the pain you’ve had
You still find strength to care
About those that surround you
You don’t just blow ho air

So yes, I think you’re pretty
If I’ve not made that clear
Then I will say once more
What I think you should hear

The fact is you are beautiful
That’s really what is true
And I cannot say how glad
I am to have met you

I hope you always know
And never ever forget
That to say it bluntly
You’re as pretty as they get

But if you ever need
Someone to hold your hand
I promise I will be there
And I will help you stand
