Before I became strong, I knew what it was like
To be weak,
How difficult it is to love yourself,
To find the wholeness that you seek.
Before I knew the light,
I have had my fair share of darkness, too,
Where my world fell into a hopelessness
And I didn't know how to get through.
For I have known the tears it takes,
The courage to stand up again,
When you are broken down and bruised
And you know nothing but the pain.
Before I was who I am now,
I was someone I didn't want to be.
I was lost, battered, and defeated,
Before I knew how to be me!
You may see me struggle,
but you won't see me fall.
Regardless if I'm weak or not
This is your time
to no longer be who you were,
to rise from the embers,
Always looking for ways to improve myself,
But I struggle to take that first step.<
I thought it was what I wanted.
You promised me it was.
You took me in your arms<
Why Did I Break Up With The Guy I Love?
You poison me with your eyes,
Your lips curving, drawing me in.
How can you trust
My love for you is like the raging sea,
So powerful and deep it will forever be.
If you take me,
Take me for who I am.
If you love me,
Accept me with all
Fumbling, stumbling,
around in the dark.
Fighting, igniting,
flames from
Thank you
For loving me true,
For being no one but you,
For holding my ha
It's that look in your eye.
It's the smile on your face
That makes time slip by,<
