Potential

Where am I going?
How did this happen?
My life has unfolded
Depressingly average
But if support him
Help him reach his potential
He’ll be my contribution
I can still make my mark
My name will live on!
His shyness is charming
I wish I could reach him
He’s strangely disarming
I hope I can free him
I know I can help him
He needs someone like me
To reach his potential
To learn how to feel
He’ll be my contribution
I wish he’d let me in
They’ll remember my name
Let me help him to live
My claim to fame
