Dear self

I wonder why you're so hard on yourself yet never soft enough

I see life has beaten you down too

Many times and made you tough enough

But it's okay to cry sometimes, to open up to love

You don't always have to put on the warrior mask

Because in this love I will never judge

I've always wanted to see the potential through

So no matter the tests and trials you

May face I'll always believe in you

I'm understanding life is a journey not

A race so there's no catching up to do

And I know you'll make it out of this maze

That anxiety sometimes puts you through

You are far from perfect, yet so divine

I see stars and constellations when I

Stare into your honey chocolate brown eyes

And though a little darkness may peek through often times

I'm understanding that it's never light without the dark so

I learn to understand you and rationalize

I've come to understand we're all a little bit of broken

Living in a world where by pain we were shaped and molded

But in pain you no longer have to linger and hurt

Because I can assure you with God's amazing grace

He will always make a way

I always see the light

And that sparkle divine that radiates through the cracks of you

I've come to understand we're all a little bit of broken

Living in a world where by pain

But it's okay to cry sometimes, to open up to love

You don't always have to put on the warrior mask

Because in this love I will never judge

I've always wanted to see the potential through

So no matter the tests and trials you

May face I'll always believe in you

I'm understanding life is a journey not

A race so there's no catching up to do

And I know you'll make it out of this maze

That anxiety sometimes puts you through

You are far from perfect, yet so divine

I see stars and constellations when I

Stare into your honey chocolate brown eyes

And though a little darkness may peek through often times

I'm understanding that it's never light without the dark so

I learn to understand you and rationalize

I know I can't take away your past

And all the things that were done to you

Realize your power

Because I can assure you with God's amazing grace

He will always make a way

I always see the light

Realize your power

Because I can assure you with God's amazing grace

He will always make a way
