He thinks himself unworthy
The same thoughts that rattle through my own mind
Its strange
Because when I look at him
I see a saint
But when he looks in the mirror
He sees a monster

I can comprehend how he doesn't see all that he does
The love he gives me and changed me in ways I can't grasp
The love he gives me is warm and safe
The love he gives me is everything

The patience he displays is beautiful
For he never asks for anything in return
He never gets mad for where I am
He never gives me grief about being slow to change

The light he shines upon this dark world
Is blinding
So much that it tend to attract the wrong people
People who take the light for themselves and destroy him
If I could take all the suffering he has been through I would in an instant
Without hesitation
He doesn't deserve the things that have been thrown at him

When I look at him
When I hear him
When I feel him
I only see life

I hope I can show him what I see
I hope I can show him how amazing he is
I hope I can show him that he can do anything
