Hold On, Beautiful

Hold on, beautiful.

your story isn't over. 

Your strength lies in the raging fire twisting in your heart.

Don't let the chains of abuse and pain imprison your spirit.

Have the hope to keep going, as hard as it can be,

push to capture the dwindling light at the far end of the tunnel.

Don't give in or lose the power you hold.

You are beautiful with marks that speak a story of survival.

you are beautiful with a soul worth saving. 

The pain will wither away in the burning rays of the sun.

Get out of your head and into your healing.

Know you are a fighter with a purpose.

Feeling sorry for yourself will invite weakness.

Inviting weakness is welcoming destruction.

The Earth has registered your pain.

It will take your sorrow and bury it beneath the soil.

And as the rain of recovery befalls the ground,

A new you will sprout up and smile under the glittering sky.

In place of tears, there is joy.

In place of fear, there is fierceness.
