Embrace it, and taste it

Give it the attention it needs

Hold yourself gently

Forgive who you used to be

Acknowledge the lesson

But don't get stuck in the pain

Not everything needs fixin'

Let it fall off, like rain

Peace comes in all forms

Confession brings healing

When the heartstrings are torn

Sit remembering, it's okay to bend

Don't ask the world for directions

Make friends with the mirror, and reflection

That heart inside needs protection

Double down and saturate yourself with affection

Cause no matter what you are feeling

There's a child inside that needs healing

Everything that comes, comes with a reason

Don't give up and life reaveals it's true meaning
