See beyond the surface
To that place where I reside
Past the false me that shows
To the real me I often hide
You see what others don’t
To the hurt that is buried deep
And the pain that lingers still
Bringing nightmares to my sleep
You see in me a strength
That not everyone can
Because you know me
As you are my man
I realize now that because of you
I am stronger than I believe
Have an inner strength
Few others will ever perceive
With your guidance and love
The nightmares fade away
I will continue to grow
Gaining more strength every day
So thank you for seeing
What others simply cannot
For believing in me
It matters, a lot.
