Sometimes
Feeling sorry for yourself
Is quite simply
The most respectful thing
You can do for you
Because you’ve been through a lot
That’s worth recognizing
(And at least one good cry!)
So, go ahead
Let the pity party commence!
Because you can’t let it go
Until you realize you’re still gripping it
And when you’ve walked through fire,
You deserve to look back on it
Acknowledging the pain
Taking pride in the courage
