To the one in the mirror

We have been through so much

You and I
I have seen you

-grow, endure

-quite often be very unsure

and yet put up a brave face

I have seen you

-Try to fit in
-Make innumerable mistakes

-Search for ways to be accepted

and loved truly despite being so unapologetically you

I have seen you

-Race hard in a way that just nothing could stop you

• and trip while jumping over hoops
• and feel those suicidal failures at times
• I have seen you Swear like a sailor

• Thank like a saint

• Laugh heartily with friends
• And Love with all of your being

There have been times when I have hated you as well

Here’s is a note to tell you that I love you even when I
hate you

Because you are the only one who has always always stayed true to me!
