THE COMMON GREAT

This pain you feel, its so unreal.

Nothing can wipe it away, not my words, nor can I say

You are great and you are loved

Even if its only from up above

Please don’t hurt, there’s no need

For you can do good deeds

You make me laugh, you make me cry

You make me wonder…why oh why

You feel like you’re not meant to be, like your life is a lie, a permanent empty lie

But please try to understand, that I will come and lie with you

For you are not a lie, nor will you ever be

You’re the caring kind

For you were meant to be, so why say goodbye

To those who love and those who care

To those who watch and those who stare

For they may see what YOU think YOU can be

But I see what you don’t see…

The kindness and passion, the love and the crashing

Of the you you’re letting go. The one you should really know.

So don’t make me beg, get down on my knees

Begging please, please.

This thing you see yourself to be, it’s no more than a common “he” or “she”

But this person I see, is the greatest thing you could ever be.
