  I see you
Putting on a show for the world,
A brilliant one at that.
Your smile hiding all the crippling anxiety.
You're obviously trying really hard.
And I'll give this to you,
It's working for the most part.
But I guess I'll peg it on experience,
On having put on that exact game face
A while ago, when I thought
The same as you do,
When I believed there was no way out.
Can I hold your hand, love?
I'll not steer you away
From your chosen path,
I'll only walk beside you.
Walk, through all the phases
You don't have to tell me anything.
Why, you ask?
My heart wept all over again
The second I saw a mirror image
In you...
