Let the rain kiss your skin
Let its salty residue heal your pains
As its beauty engulfs you
Let go
Of the people and things
That hold you captive.
As the clouds release their tears
Do the same with yours.
Let go
Of the worries the consume you
The work that burdens you
Push it off your shoulders
And throw your arms in the air
Let go
Let the natural dance take over
Let the rain lead you
Back to yourself
Let go
Let the rain kiss your skin
Let its salty residue heal your pains

You're my whiskey
You warm me up when you're here
You keep me buzzing and happy for awhile
But once you left my system
I was left confused
Dazed
And with an aching head
So breathe into me your intoxicating love
Or leave for good
Because I can't bare
To constantly be recovering from you

You told me you never wanted me
Dismissed me like an animal
I'm not a thing
Stop acting like I don't have worth
At some point you'll stop breaking me
At some point I'll become numb again
I try so hard
To be enough for you
But I never will be
I know you're just "pushing me"
But it hurts
Your expectations hurt me
Because I will never be enough for you
No matter how hard I try

What if I'm not enough
What if he gets bored
Like so many others have
What if I don't make him happy
What if he stops loving me
What if I'm alone again
What if he breaks my heart
What if I hurt
So bad that he can't fix it
What if this time I don't get back up
What if he leaves
What if it's not real

I have a crazy fear
Of never being good enough.
Always just one step away
Just a little less than I need to be.
Because I've spent my entire life being told I'm not
There's always something to improve
Something new to strive for
Something I have to make myself into
Someone new to impress
I've never been good enough for anyone
And never will be
Because no matter how much I pretend
I'm still not good enough
For even myself

him
The way he puts the stars in my eyes
Like they don't belong in the sky
The way he takes away my insecurities
Like a parent takes away toys from a child
The way he looks into my eyes
Like he's never seen anything more beautiful
The way he loves me
Like there's no other better than me
The way his lips melt into mine
Like crayons in a dryer
The way he makes me feel
Like no other before has
The way he takes all my pain away
Like there never was any
The way that he talks to me
Like I'm the most interesting person ever
his love sets me free

It's so ugly she says
The wrinkles on my face
I look so old.
I turn my head to where she sits
She's sipping a red wine that makes her skin start to splotch
And I notice the creases in her face
And realize they tell a story
Her story
A story that gives me hope
Because her face,
Despite the horrible things that happened in her life,
Shows happiness
She's not old
She's not wrinkled
She's not defined by her age
She's define by her character
And she's beautiful
