c all of u

you
you hide
you hide behind the chair
cursing yourself
you
you cut
you cut you down
don’t know how
to change

but I can see you
I see all of you
Every bit
You tell me it’s ugly
And I can see you
And I sit and hold your hand


Seethe
Seething
Seething teeth you gnash
Ashamed you shrink
Breathe
Breathe in
Breathe in that I’m still sitting here
And I see


I can see you
See all of you
Every bit
through your embarrassment
I’ll hold your hand


You don’t have to believe
Any word that I say
Just take a look at where we are
I haven’t gone away


And I see you
See all of you
Every bit of you
Is what I love
I want you to feel
Acceptance
and the goodness of you
And even if you can’t
I’ll sit right here
I'll sit right here with you
I'll always be sitting right next to you
and hold your hand
