7. you got this, girl

i know everything that
you’re going through is
weighing down on you,
and life just keeps on
kicking, never giving
a chance to dance,
you can’t stand it.
just want a second
to feel special, and
it starts to feel like
everyone around you
couldn’t care less if
you’re happy or sad.
you feel so alone and
think no one’s there,
you’re better off gone,
there’s no one to love.

but i promise you are loved.

you’re far better
than you think,
and i’ve seen it,
just caught up in
what he made you
think of yourself,
he tried to rip all of
your confidence and
make you feel lower
than you actually are.
he made you forget
just how to love you,
you felt you weren’t
worth anything at all.

but you’re more than worth it.

you’re strong and brave
and you’re so unafraid,
and you don’t need him
to tell you the opposite.
you’re independent and
a wonder to behold, girl,
and i know that the world
will help you realize that.
don’t be afraid to show off,
you deserve all the praise,
take life at your own pace,
and keep on doing great.

you got this, girl.
