Don’t run away from me, child.
I have seen you struggle and surpass the storms.
Have watched you as you claw your way up from the ground---
Trying to breathe through your mud-filled lungs;
Struggle no more: I will breathe life into you.
Don’t be afraid.
To reach for your dreams
Lift your eyes and see the stars I have placed before you
My dear, you shine brighter than any of them.
Your enemies stand their ground
But I am your tower: the protector
From me comes your power
So be strong.
Stronger than ever before and don’t be afraid to conquer
This life I have gifted to you.
Remember, that you are not alone
You see---  I have written my love letter to you in blood.
I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Be afraid no more.
