Te Kaha (The Strength)

For the first time in a long time - I can breathe

for the first time in a long time - I can see

for the first time in a long time - I’ve found the strength inside

te kaha

for the first time in a long time - I feel free

for the first time in a long time - I’m at peace

for the first time in a long time - I’ve found the strength inside

te kaha

I love myself

in ways he was not capable

love myself

in ways I was not able before

love myself

no approval needed anymore

glad I reached the bottom

gave me something to push off of

if I had not known the depths would not have craved the air above

been working on acceptance

releasing all that does not serve

cause when a woman finds her strength yeah

it’s of benefit to the whole world
