Evolve

And this quiet

Is the raging storm inside of me

That someday you would know this heart

That I could show you

The cracks and glue

And ribbons of joy that hold these parts together

Not to show that I am better than you

But how I see you as my equal

How I’m done proving who I am

To this world and to you

You and I both

Caused each-others imperfections

And while you moved on

It took me a while to realize my worth

To show myself that I have something to offer this world

Whether it’s the infinite love that I have to offer

In this little heart of mine

Or the strength to wake up every morning

Feeling as if I have nothing to show

For the day before

I only want to be seen for who I am now

Instead of the person I used to be
