I thought I knew what it meant to be loved Having someone to hold me And keep me from shattering to pieces In some of my most darkest moments To bestowing their pride upon me And giving me their dreams. I thought I knew what I was worth That I was made for more could do more to be more Than this thing I see in the mirror A beautiful broken image yearning for better. I am a lesser version of what I believed myself to be But I'm also stronger and more determined Ready to sacrifice and move this earth beneath me To rise up and reach I tell myself to breathe To relax in the idea that the universe will hear me and respond That regardless of what I'm feeling now The future is bright and open to me So long as I allow love in and give love in return I am more than capable Of whatever light I choose to stand within.
