A grown up, troubled teen.

Do you know how proud you'll make me
If you don't let this knock you down?
If you carry on adapting,
And try hard not to drown?

Do you know how much I love you?
Though it's not something we should say,
I care more for you than anyone
And I pray for you each day.

Do you realise how much it hurt,
When I heard the news that day?
How much I tried to defend you,
And beg them to let you stay?

I hope this won't destroy you,
I pray that you will see
That you are not meant to fail,
But be what you want to be.

One day I know you'll shock them
And they'll see what I have seen.
No thanks to them you'll make it,
A grown up, troubled teen.
