We need to be
A little more aware
Of what we do to ourselves
It can be easy
To let ourselves go
Hurting ourselves
In different ways
Dishonoring ourselves
Sometimes
We can feel
Like we aren't
Worth fighting for
That we don't deserve any better
Than where we are
Sometimes
It can just seem easier
Not to care
Not to care about ourselves
Or not to care about others
I think
It can become easy
Easy to get lost
So lost in yourself
That you can't see
The trees
Or the sun
Or the breeze
Or the sky
Or to see
Just how beautiful
We all really are
In our own ways
Coming to
The understanding
That we are all here
We all have our place
We are all connected
In our own ways
We just have to search inside
To find the answers we need
To make it through another day
