For You, My Dear

Lay your head down, my dear
Drown out the noises of war
Keep your eyes on the stars
Worry not of the wounds
For wounds will heal over time
Dry your eyes now, my dear
Fear not of the battle in front of you
Walk past the fallen of your former self
Keep your head level
And never slow down
Forgive yourself, my dear
Never shrink, but grow
You will fall, but you will rise
And though sometimes you will think of nothing else
Never give up, fight like hell to get through
Forgive others, my dear
Loving your enemy is not easy, it is necessary
Apologies are given but should never be expected
Save the anger for the pain you endure
Do not waste it on those who have no love
Mind the hands you shake, my dear
The world has it’s darkness
The world has it’s evils
The path you walk on is easy to stray from
And harder to find your way back
Tear off the mask, my dear
You’re more beautiful underneath
You’re perfect with all your imperfections
The mask only ways you down
Drop it
Leave it
Let your freak flag fly
Never slow down
Never speed up, my dear
Live your life as it’s meant to be lived
Break down that wall
Shine brighter the stars
And save the best for last
Listen to the waves, my dear
The world will turn
The sun will rise
Life will be life
Only you can live it
