halved

tonight i'll cry myself to sleep because i know i'll never be
appealing enough to focus your eyes' attention
articulate enough to say all i want to
confident enough to show what's inside
strong enough to lift your head in dark days
big enough to make your dreams come true
romantic enough to keep you constantly in the clouds
good enough to raise the children you'll conceive
passionate enough to make you fall in love
[most of all]
brave enough to take the first real step
