Dear Jo

Dear Jo,
I owe you an apology. We need to talk. I have let you down. I made you believe that your pain in this life and the trauma you endured made you less of a person. I lied to you. So now you have forgotten how strong you are. You are looking to others to tell you of the strength you so desperately want to have. Think of everything you have been through. They don't know about it all, and you can't blame them. But that's what makes you beautiful, show your true colors because they are beautiful like a rainbow... You can finally say it and you can finally believe it, you owe it to yourself after all, it has been 30 years of self-hate, time to realize that you are beautiful inside. I'm sorry I never told you enough. I'm sorry you gave your strength a second thought even for one second...Forgive me and we can conquer it all.
With love and grace,
Jo

This is the song I dedicate to you. Yet, not only to you, but to everyone who is holding themselves back from the things they fear. God never said standing for the things that were right would be without pain or suffering. But, as you lay down to sleep tonight be happy to know you can live with your desicions. I am proud of you.

You with the sad eyes


Don't be discouraged

Oh, I realize

It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

And darkness still inside you

Make you feel so small

But I see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors,

True colors, are beautiful,

Like a rainbow.
(Ah ah ah...)

Show me a smile then,

Don't be unhappy,

Can't remember when I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up

Because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors,

True colors, are beautiful,

Like a rainbow

Ah ah ah ah...

Spoken: Can't remember when I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy

You've taken all you can bear

You call me up (Call me up! )

Because you know I'll be there (Know I'll be there)

And I'll see your true colors

Shining through (I see them shining through! )

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you (That's why I love you! )

So don't be afraid (Afraid) to let them show

Your true colors, true colors

I see your true colors shining through (Yeah! )

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid (Afraid) to let them show

Your true colors

True colors, true colors

True colors, are beautiful,

Like a rainbow
