in a different way
facing the reality
of what’s before my face
holding my value
closer to my chest
and closing my eyes to them
letting my own heart rest
for i was always moving
in their direction
doing all of it
for someone else
in the chance
they might love me
that something special i did
would convince them
how special i was
but i’m not that special
to anyone but my Father
so I’ll only move for Him
this girl was always on high alert
for the kindness that should have always
been there for her
so that it didn’t make it seem unique
when it came to visit
she would have known
this is how it was always supposed to go
and she wouldn’t have the most difficult time
letting things go
she would just grow
and all sufficient levels
of love and kindness
would be her own
