Be The Crown
By: Devin Cade

We broke your shell.
"Welcome to Hell."

Your finding your heart,
regardless of answers found.
You found your start.

While awaiting your connect,
try harder to reflect:

You are you,
and now you see,
amidst all you do:

You’re going to be knocked,
your heart, will become locked. 

Be better,
than the pain.
Perhaps the joke’s on us. 
"Us" meant to fall like rain. 

Or perhaps like fire,
our flames erupt.
And incidents transpire. 

Hear me when I say you’re better.
Understand me when I say you glow. 
You are better than most.
I emphasize with all of me when I say:
"Make it show."

I will do my best,
to never slow you down.
Yet it tears me when you hurt.
Always do your best:
To be the thunder...Be the Crown.
