I bet if you’re happy

The shadow still lurks

I bet if you smile

It’s a little strained

I bet you’ve been told

To cheer up

I bet you’ve cried

Yourself to sleep

I guess we all know

That feeling

I guess that’s a smile

Your hiding

I guess it’s a bit silly

But isn’t all love?

I guess from all your clues

About who your crush is

I think your so strong

Even though you don’t feel it

I think too much as well

Going down those spirals

I think it’s difficult

To articulate these things

I think we can do it though

Beat this fear together

I want you to know

That this is a gift

I want it to be heard

I am not ashamed

I want you to understand

That this is natural

Cause emotions shape our world

And they do matter

You do matter

Always.
