Life is about the choices we make
the moments we don’t see coming
and the strength to do what’s best for ourselves
despite how much it may hurt
You were brave enough to wake up
now don’t go back to sleep
You can point the finger at those who have
whispered behind your back
They all have played a role in your development
But looking so deep into the past
will keep you from moving forward
You must love yourself more
than these people claim they do
Look at where you stand now
No one can know the things you have endured like you
You’ve never claimed to be perfect
Your flaws tell your story
There is no need to hide them
