I think i can

I think i’m strong.

I smile and say "You can. You know you can."

But as i step out, i realise i’m still waiting for the echo of your voice to tell me,

"I believe in you. You can do this."

It doesn’t come.

And that's when i see,

I CAN’T.

I think sunshine looks beautiful.

I think it’s bright enough to warm my heart

But without you to say "Good morning",

I might as well stay in bed and watch the rain fall against my window.

I just CAN’T.

Sometimes I think,

I am special, i am different because I am all i can be.

I am beautiful and i am loved.

But when you're gone

I have look at myself through mirrors instead of the image captured within your irises.

And i am ordinary. The reflection cries:

I CAN’T.
