Believe in yourself
For many years of my life
I wore my heart for all to see
Making it much too easy
For others to take advantage of me.
I lived and I loved three times
To the loftiest heights
Always crashing to the ground
When my loves took wings of flight.
I put my whole being into love
Never thinking of myself
Whatever I truly needed
Was put high upon a shelf.
I thought another person
Could make me whole
Until I spent hours alone
Looking deep within my soul.
Life is different now
I found the woman I used to be
I know once again who I am inside
In myself I now believe.
I know what I have to offer
I am kind .... I love .... I care
No one will crush my spirit again
For now I'm wiser and aware.
