I can see you there
Hidden underneath fake smiles
Reminding yourself constantly
How you’re supposed to feel
You don’t have to do that
You don’t have to lock away
Your imperfect thoughts and feelings
No lights shine without creating shadow
And nothing is ever perfect for forever
Let it out
You don’t always have to wear the armor
I’ve seen the scars
They make you who you are
You don’t always have to have a good day
No need to force it
Or to be someone that you’re not
Let the bad days come
Sometimes fighting only drags you down
Rest, recharge,
so that the light may shine
and the smiles may be as bright as the sun
