A harsh word there
A look down stare
Lines of criticism from which to repair
Years built up to thoughts of no good
As strong as you try to believe
The voice of self doubt echoes deep
Keep on pushing through
Telling self think more of you
Building up too
There will always be times when others do put down
But the more we climb the farther away from hard ground
And even when words may be cruel
You see a bigger truth
The perpetrator is delicate underneath sharp snarling teeth
As fragile as you or me
It doesn't need to feel so painful when you see more clearly
We are all just swimming in delicate fragility at the bottom of our sea
So start to love you
Start to love me
