Don't focus on how many times you felt
worthless,
unloved,
cheated,
and left behind.

Instead, think of how many times you              
stood up,
moved on,
took the courage to let go,
and lived again.

Life may knock me down yet
Keep me down it cannot!
Up I shall always get
For give up I will not!

Find the thing that spits your soul open

And welcome it.

Don't mind how you start,
It's how you finish that matters.

By the time we were born
We struggle, but keep on growing.
Undergo constant changes,
To be the best version of ourselves.

I like to play diplomat; it's hard to say no
Never the one who decides where we go
Affixed in place by the roots in the past
I hide behind everyone and choose to be last
So I also play victim more than I care to admit
Enough is enough, I've decided, that's it
I've wasted too much time on worry and fear
I think it's time to show the world that I'm here
