Loving yourself     Is not                     An option Right? Because it’s easy To hide behind someone’s shadow. To blame yourself And blend in. Was despair so heavy it broke your legs? Is hope a faulty crutch? Just like the “friends” That are a thin plastic net? Did the hurt make you lose your voice? In the silence Did they take your strength Because it was easy? So stand up with your broken leg And limp out of their shadow. Let your screams be the voice That separates you from the crowd Because you are strong , Worth loving   And...                                  your NOT leaving. Because Life is worth living So keep breathing Even when it’s not easy -M.O.I

ITS not EASY
Loving yourself     Is not                     An option Right? Because it’s easy To hide behind someone’s shadow. To blame yourself And blend in. Was despair so heavy it broke your legs? Is hope a faulty crutch? Just like the “friends” That are a thin plastic net? Did the hurt make you lose your voice? In the silence Did they take your strength Because it was easy? So stand up with your broken leg And limp out of their shadow. Let your screams be the voice That separates you from the crowd Because you are strong , Worth loving   And...                                  your NOT leaving. Because Life is worth living So keep breathing Even when it’s not easy -M.O.I
When you hate yourself, blame yourself or lose yourself to dispair , you fall into silence. People can take your opinions and strengths and crush them when you don’t speak.
