Your trying

To be better, but at the last minute, you fall back into that girl that shy’s away from it all.

And as I scream for you to wake up and take the next step, it always goes to deaf ears.

Oh, how I wish you would speak up and rise to the challenge for your more than the soft-spoken one.

You have the determination of someone who could be significant.

So stand up and hold your head high because you are going places, my friend, and I can’t wait to see you accomplish it all.

You were meant to share your words and your hope and the light that reaches for us all, no matter if we want it or not.

You are the reason I am here and making the change to be me, and never settle for anything less than what I deserve.

No matter how miles or hours or days apart, you will always be a part of me.
