Up Above


People call me crazy

People call me insane

People say I'm nothing 

But he doesn't say it

People tell me to smile 

People tell me to stand tall

People tell me to act a certain way

But he already sees and unsees that and much more

People can't accept me

People are scared of me

People don't desire me

But he says I'm okay just the way I am

I can't talk to people

I can't look at people

I can't love people because I can't love myself 

But he is always here with me 

Listening to me, soothing me, loving me just like how I love him

For him I can look up above.
