Only if you knew your worth

Only if you knew you could be a STAR

Only if you knew that your thoughts matter

Only if you knew your beauty

Inside and outside

Only if you knew your influence

Only if you knew how I feel

Only if you knew all the qualities that I see in you

Only if I could express my feelings

Only if I had the courage to make my move

How I want to instill you with confidence that you already have

But I can't even take my own advice

How I sound like a fool

Everything is about YOU

When I can't see myself

Only if life has a second chance

But that's already passed

And I'm sorry that I let you pass by

Because every time I look up at the sky

I question myself

And ask myself

Only if YOU knew

Writing is my way of free expression. Sometimes you just got to write things out to get them off your chest.
