Perspective

I wasn’t pretty from how the kids called me names,
I thought I was ugly because my face always looked the same,
I never thought I’d feel happiness from love,
Because love just seemed so far away,
I thought my differences would always keep me at bay,
I never knew there were people that suffered from the same scars,
Who were crying on the inside and wished the pain away to the stars,
I never knew id find that red thread,
I had thought that all the love in me was dead,
But then he made me see,
Ever so clearly,
With so few words,
He took away all the hurt,
He made the tears turn into smiles,
He took my hand and led me for miles,
He took my fears and turned them into dreams,
He took ahold of my heart and repaired the seams,
He showed me that I was beautiful,
That I did belong,
For once in my life I didn’t feel so wrong,
He showed me that laughter can cure all,
That one small smile can hold back someone’s fall,
He showed me that there was more to life than death,
He showed me every moment in his eyes,
And every time he took away my breath.
