I wonder if you know
I wonder if you know how beautiful you are
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you know your kind heart is seen
If your hard work was recognized
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you know
Your loneliness was love reaching for a home
Your quiet hope a grace
It is not your shame but theirs
I wonder if you know that in your gentle heartbeats
It was never really you at all
A society malformed decided what was beautiful
With its half blind eye it judged
Then it turned its anger to you
To be shocked and shunned
The softest of hearts earnestly doing everything asked
Labelled angry and wrong
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you know you are not lost or less, nor broken
You can tell them you know if you do
You can say I’m not broken
They may not believe you but its true nonetheless, I know
You may not believe either
I wish you would
See that gentle heart as one of deepest warmth and worth
I wonder if you could
Its worth and value still visible
Bruised and battered, left torn untended, infected with doubt
Living on mojo and luck
That’s the tricky bit isn’t it
They got to tell you before you could know for yourself
They are wrong, simply wrong
Unlearning the hurt and harm
Reflecting your sweet soulshine
An extra job that was never yours, ungrateful demands
Jeering at a world of hate
Dancing on shattered mirrors barefoot
Let the angels have their revenge as you choose to love everyone
If you start with you, they will be offered a clue of how to love their world too
