"Hold It True"

We are human...

We all have hearts...

But we often forget why they beat...

There should be no shame in expressing your authentic feelings

And it should never be perceived as a sign of weakness

To feel is to have compassion...

Embrace that feeling

Hold it true...

Let it marinade within you

Silence is more powerful than proving a point

It's okay if you do not feel hopeful every minute of every day

The important part is that you are trying

With best intentions in the making

Trust your process rather than others opinions

Because those who hurt you, should not be able to dictate how you are mending your wounds

Some of the strongest people are the ones who fight a quiet battle that we know nothing about

Don't let people who do so little for you, define so much of your life

Don't let pain turn parts of you ugly...

Be proof that surviving can be beautiful in its own way

Because sometimes we do lose ourselves in the midst of it all

And that's okay, because that is part of learning

By remembering to comeback stronger than your setback

To have courage in being yourself in a world that wants you to be like everyone else

And if the mind always seems to believe everything you tell it...

Then feed it with self love...

Because if you got asked to make a list of things to take care of

How long would it take you to name yourself?

Allow the tears shed to show you the new path ahead

Hope is found after the darkness turns to light

You are this new horizon of tomorrow coming

Understand the choice and difference made

Healing yourself doesn't mean the damage never existed

It means that you no longer give it permission to control your life.
