Such a thirst for recognition
paired with a gentle heart.
I don't quite get the contradiction,
but baby you're a work of art.

You are so unique
in every single way.
Powerful and meek
in a selfless way.

Your hunger for approval
has me somewhat confused.
It makes for assertiveness' removal
and leave you wide open for being used

Such a thirst for recognition
paired with a gentle heart.
I don't quite get the contradiction
but baby you're a work of art..

Someday I hope you get what you yearn for
your merit badge and gold star.
One day I hope you're truly satisfied, not longing anymore,
I will be here waiting, watching your triumph from afar.

Your soul is beautiful, yet ugly when repressed
your writing is sometimes illegible
though when voiced your thougts are beautifully expressed.
You're inexplicably eligible and intricately tolerable.

Such a thirst for recognition
paired with a gentle heart.
I don't quite get the contradiction
but baby you're a work of art.
