| Love yourself |
COMES THE DAWN
After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
and you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security
and you begin to understand that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises
and you begin to accept your defeats with your head held high and your eyes open
with the grace of a woman and not the grief of a child.
You learn to build your roads on today
because tomorrows ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down mid flight.
After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns
if you get too much
so you plant your own garden and decorate your soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers
and you learn that you really can endure,
that you are strong and really do have worth
and you learn and learn and you learn
with every goodbye you learn
