I see your eyes

I see the tears love I do,

I see how red they are,

I see the way you say I'm fine right after,

I see your heart too

I see how tender it is

all the love it has to give

it's vulnerability

it's weaknesses

but I see it's strengths too

I see your mind

I know it's fragile

but I know it's so strong

I know it's beautiful and I know it's doing it's best

I know your legs

I know they're tired

but look at you getting up in the middle of the night to write that paper, getting up early in the morning to meet that deadline, walking halfway round the city to where you need to be

look at you thriving

do you realize how beautiful it is?

you're tired love yes I know

but just look at you go even still

you're kinging it

my love you're queening it

even when it's hard

even when you've cried so hard it's blood at this point

when your feet ache and your mind is leaning on its fragile

you're still thriving

do you know how amazing that is?

that even still, with everything that tells your mind body and soul otherwise, that says to take the easy way out, to give up,

you're still standing

you fight it all and follow your heart

follow your person, an embodiment of all you are

you're so strong, there's so much strength in you

never let anyone make you feel like there isn't

like you're not enough

that it'll last forever

darling they're all lies

everything goes

truer words have never been said

one day you'll be where you want to be

someday you'll get everything you want

someday you'll be that person you want to be

it's for a while love, not forever, just for now.
