more

you’ve lived a life
like it was a chore 
a task to accomplish
and tried not to keep score 
at ease you left every situation 
quietly you shut each door 
never thinking what it felt like
to be completely floored
by just how much 

you could be adored  
no, you did what you had to 
thinking it was all you were here for
but i’m here to tell you,
babe, there is so much more
