Has anyone ever told you you’re fabulous?
It’s the kind of fabulous
When a black cat crosses the street
And everyone shies away,
Scared,
And the cat keeps cruising,
Tail held high
Like the proud mast of a sinking ship,
With more guts than the craziest pirate.
You’re unafraid to be yourself
You just put yourself out there
Splashing your personality all over the place
Until you’re leaving beautiful murals behind you,
Multicolored paint in your boot prints
And at the same time,
You hide your face
You think you’re not good enough
You think you’ll never be loved
And I just want to grab you
By the shoulders
And shake you slightly and show you
All of the reasons why you’re amazing just the way you are.
You are broken, but you’re beautiful
You’ve known hurt, but you’re hopeful
When sitting in a chair all day is killing you,
You still find the strength to get up in the morning.
And I wish I could make you see
How much you brighten this world,
But by the time I try to speak,
You’re gone
Your black tail flicking around the corner.
