Dear Leah
This letter I’m writing to you today,
I’ve read to myself a thousand times
Like a patient on life support,
Validation was the oxygen I couldn’t live without.
When on demand for affection yet denied of its supply,
I went on a quest to catch my breath by roaming around catching feelings
The longing kept leaking until I bumped into Life
He told me, that I no longer had to beg for what His Heavenly Father freely gave
So with no further a due I retired from begging
And stopped conducting eye-tests on people I wish could see me
Because His lenses are perfect
A 20/20 vision nothing could dim from taking notice of who I am
Dear Leah
I’d like to give your confidence a pep talk
Raw is how he likes your core
You don’t always have to be sensual to feel sensational
Emit the curves from your description,
And God’s pen will still be able to contour the shape of your soul
With Him, real is more impressive than filters
He would rather choose a spicy plate of your imperfections
Over the predictable menu of your flawlessness
His heart is not too cramped a space to harbor your baggage
Where you’ve had to crash-in schedules you weren’t invited to
He reserves a VIP seat that doesn’t require force to claim
Nor needs you to exhaust your efforts to be noted
Sometimes the most amazing experiences in life
Come from the things we’ve got nothing to do with
Look within, your soul isn’t homeless
Dear anonymous lady, heard about your story lately,
A part of me just wants to reach out and embrace you
I figured with all the men in your life that try to chase you
Let these words do the deed instead of me having to face you
Dear Leah, I wish I could see yah
You got me caught up in the days, thinking you’re a lea
Mind reader, keep it a secret I believe in yah
Keep your eyes open, lot of fish in the water
But just as many sharks that can take your heart to the slaughter
You see, just the same way you desire to get better hair
Take better care of yourself for shared tears
Dear Leah, I wish I could see yah
Dear Leah
Why settle to be an understudy when God can take the lead?
You’re nothing short of a miracle
Nowhere near from done
The head of the downtrodden has been re-instated back to majesty
Whatever you are worth, add tax to it
And I can guarantee that you still won’t be able find an estimate for how priceless you are
My lady, had you known that praise was on the way,
You wouldn’t mourn or chase after those who got away
Christ is your reward
So lift up your gaze, because better is coming.
The pressures made by society shouldn’t affect you
Beautiful masterpiece, uniquely made In God’s eyes
