If your experiences have not taught you to be strong
If your understandings have not shown you where you belong
Sit back and take a breather
That emotional baggage is a tether
Reopen the wounds even if they hurt to find out what is wrong
Move on from the mistakes yet remember the lessons
You become what you believe don’t give up on the passions
Flowers are fragile so is dynamite
That power is inside you to put up a good fight
Travel far enough to meet yourself even if the journey is unpleasant
Live without pretending and love without depending
Listen without defending and speak without offending
There is this much you can do
Then it is beyond you
Dawn is an unbroken promise even if the night seems unending
Don’t let the pain make you hate or your sensibilities sway
Don’t let the bitterness steal your sweetness away
Your smile is your logo
Your rage is your foe
Sometimes you must learn to get out of your own way
