Every once in awhile in therapy
there comes an epiphany
Last night came one that blew my mind
And really, it's about time

Suddenly I could finally see
Something she's been telling me
I don't believe I can actually do it
Over and over I've tried, but can't get through it

The feeling I had the day he said "thank you"
that inner glow, it came from me, not from an outside "you"
She said I can learn to create it
from just me, not go through a relationship grater

I said, no, I'm way too flawed
I felt good about myself that moment and I'm still in awe
Of how good it felt, what a natural high
But now the feeling is gone, I've made peace with goodbye

But no she said, playing the role of my advocate
and it is a part for which she is quite fit
You felt good about yourself and you can do it again
all by yourself, without a faux friend

All these guys have done nothing for me
When I felt good about them, it was only me
creating that inner glow
it wasn't something about which they know

It really all depends on me
On learning how to appreciate my inner sea
and my outer self, and all the rest
And its not just about being put to a test

It's about silencing that critical inner voice
I developed when I was a child, and had no choice
But to blame myself for my parents flaws
And it's a habit I live with till this day, the card I continue to draw

What a concept
What a sense of power
To think my feeling good can be all up to me
to think I don't have to depend on someone else
for a sense of worth and everything else

I don't think I can do it
But my medicine woman does
So, I will try to take that leap of faith
So, fly, I tell my inner dove
