For you

This one's for you. Because of who you are and what you mean. Because of what you can be but refuse to try. Because of the potential that is being wasted right in front of my eyes. Because I know you can be more, you have more, you are more. Because of the future that can be yours if only you gave it a chance. Because of the strength I know you have in you but have buried it in your depths. Because you are taking the easy way out and I won't let you. Because I have tried and said all that can be said, without emotion, but have failed. Because of the despair I see in your soul when I believe you can capture your happiness easily. Because this is not the end of you, the loss of you, the game over you are waiting for.
Stop despairing and start living.
Erase this frustration that is engulfing you day in and day out.
Stop saying I could've been and believe you still can be.
Stop regretting the lost years and the might have beens.
There is still so much more to be done. Still much more to be lived. Still much more to be achieved.
Stop saying I want to and then going and doing the opposite. I find no excuse for that.
Start acting and stop regretting.
Your past is over and done with. GONE FOREVER.
Stop letting it control your destiny. You are in control of your own destiny.
You are not the only one with a past. You are not the only one in pain. You are not the lonliest person in the world. You are not lost. You are not alone. You are not the only one who has to start over.
Stop being a feather in the wind of your life. Thrown from side to side. Blown by the wind. Submissive to its surroundings. Surrendering to its fate.
You have so much to give yet you don't believe that. So many talents. So much potential. Such a waste to not realize that. Such a sad heartbreaking waste.
You are blessed with a heart that is as wide as the sky and as deep as the ocean.
Don't flush your future away. Don't throw away the beauty that is all you are and all you can be. Don't restrict yourself to a destiny that can be as cruel as your guilt. Don't give in. Don't give up. There is so much more to be seen, so much more to be felt, and so much more to be enjoyed.
Leave a legacy that is yours and yours alone.
Believe me when I believe in you.
