I thought you’d be able
To see it on my face,
To hear it on my voice,
To understand the
Words unspoken,
Yet confessed
By the original language,
To spare me the courage
I lost from these days
To speak up and say
That I am not okay.

I thought you’d be able
To see it on my face,
To hear it on my voice,
To understand the
Words unspoken,
Yet confessed
By the original language,
To spare me the courage
I lost from these days
To speak up and say
That I am not okay.
You are not a flower;
You are so much more
Than your roots
And your beauty,
And your ability to create life–
There are gardens
That lie within you
That most men
Could not begin
To imagine.
