"A prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages."

     There's no easy way to say it, not even an easy way to portray the feeling. It's like you live to breathe, going through all the motions like a numb, lame, vegetable. The feeling of sheer helplessness. The feeling of undeniable brokenness. Every move you make is judged, every breath you take is measured. Never mess up, never screw up. Never disappoint, and never consider your own happiness or worth. Life will be good, as long as you're good in the eyes of others.
 
   So how do I tell you....that you aren't a disappointment? How can I convince you of this one sure thing; You were never a disappointment. You care, so much about others. It's who you are. And besides the already priceless value you hold in my heart, that fact is worth so much to me and others.
Your heart, that carries so much caution and consideration for the hearts of other people is rare. To say the least. It hurts and bleeds when others cry out. There's nothing I can say to ease your worry, or your concern, or to convince you that the weight of the the world shouldn't be on your shoulders. You are loved, and valued. Nothing you could ever say or do will make you unworthy, or disappointing. Because your heart is gold. And your worth is far more than that.
