Patience is a virtue
So is modesty
Of all the options you
Chosen the best to be

So why does sadness
Linger in your eyes and face
Why do you think yourself less
When you carry yourself with grace

Innocence is a virtue
Which grows more rare with the years
Yet it remains true
In you despite the tears

So raise your head
Smile your amazing smile
And know that, wherever you tread
You truly are worthwhile

To be yourself
Is even more rare
You’ll never be another book on the shelf
In a world full of circles you are a square

So keep burning bright
Never let your flame waver
Because without your light
The world would miss its engraver

To be alone
is the double-edged fate
Of those who sit on the throne
The strongest shoulders carry the heaviest weight

So let this remind you
That you will remain
An unbreakable force which goes through
With love past the barrier called pain
