Poezie You Said

You said you were afraid to go to a better place

until I lit the path and took your hand.



You said that you were afraid to try

until I convinced you that in my eyes you couldn't fail.



You said you couldn't share your hurt

until I showed you the scars on my heart.



You said you wished you could do things differently

until I convinced you that it wouldn't change how I felt about you.



You said you couldn't fly

until I lifted your arms and blew confidence under your wings.



You said you were too tired to go on

until I lent my shoulder to carry your load.



You started to say you didn't deserve.

I said be still and know that you are special.
