Forgive yourself for all the times you acted out of fear, For all the times you held on for dear life. Forgive yourself so you can heal, Forgive yourself so you can peel All the layers away And be completely naked and proud. Of all your scars, of all your battles; Can’t you see, dear, that they make you even more you? They’re part of who you were and who you’ve been, And all the ways you’ve overcome and beat them. It’s part of the glorious you, Of the beautiful you, Of the kind you.
You are such a marvellous being, The sun is pale in comparison. My beauty, see yourself Without those hate-filled goggles That are aimed at yourself. You are a queen, a warrior, a goddess. A human being with a god’s soul. A warm rain after a stifling day.
A safe place. A beautiful life. A warm smile. The look in your eyes. The light on your face when you laugh. YOU.
