Time doesn't heal your wounds.
They're still there.
You just put this layer of protection over your mind and your heart,
hoping nothing gets in because then you'll feel the pain all over again.

You create these walls of stone around your heart so nothing can come in or out.

You try to protect yourself as a form of self love right?
Or is that just what you tell yourself to make you believe you're actually trying to do better?

When the truth is
You just don't believe you deserve it.

You tell yourself you don't deserve to be loved.
You don't deserve to be happy.
That you don't deserve to heal, because you want yourself to feel the pain you think you deserve.

But you don't deserve that.

You deserve to be loved.
You deserve to be happy.
And you deserve to heal.

You deserve that and so much more.
