once you've been in love
you don't love again
because your heart
has already been
given away
to someone
who doesn't deserve it

to you

you are beautiful
in case no one told you
you are brave
in case no one told you
your are strong
in case no one told
you are more than the numbers on the scale
in case no one told you
you are more than the choices that you make
in case no one told you
you are loved
in case no one told you
you are here for a reason
in case no one told you
you are a child of God
in case no one told you

can't you see were like
fire and rain
hoping that one day
we'll be the same

she lost her herself in this broken world
the world that is so cruel
the society she lives in is toxic
she believes the words
“you're not good enough”
she loves this boy only to find out
he wanted her for one thing only
she is lost in her thoughts
she cries and is lonely
but she remains true to herself
she reminds herself
“this too shall pass”
she becomes hopeful
she starts to have faith that things will work out
not in the way she planned
but in the way God plans
she began to find herself in
books, music, drawing, nature
however she found her true happiness
but it wasn’t found in
boys or books or music or drawing or nature
but it was simply found in God

i crave you
in the deepest ways
your love
your touch
your sense
your smile
