*This is another poem for a friend of mine. It's for a different friend than last time. I don't have that many friends, but the ones I do have, I cherish. Also, if wattpad doesn't mess up the format of my poem, it's a haiku.*
When I first saw you
I didn't know your story
I just saw your face.
I can tell a lot
By a first glance, a first meeting
I knew about you.
I knew you had pain.
And that you struggled with things.
You are insecure.
Why? I have to ask.
Why can't you see what I see?
Why don't you have faith?
You are beautiful.
You are a piece of artwork
Woven by splendor.
Your voice holds magic.
It can be calm or booming
It expresses you.
Wear your confidences
Like it's an adorning crown.
Don't you forget that.
Be who you want.
Love whoever you want to love.
You are important.
Other people's mistakes
Don't define or make you you.
You are in control.
Look in the mirror.
Smile at your reflection.
Because I need you.
