Proud of You
I am proud of you today
Not because
You have achieved glory
And not because
You surpassed anyone
For this is not pride
Reflected
Like that of a father
Staring at their son
As a mirror of themselves
Where love is offered
With reverse polarity
No my child
I am proud of you
Exactly because
We are not the same
For I see your struggles
The fight for independence
The will to find your own voice
Locked inside yourself
Like an unreleased song
Uniquely yours
And I am proud of each step
Of each effort you make
Along this twisting road
Even if you were last
To reach the finish line
I will be waiting for you
For as long as it takes
