I Believe In Me

 

 

 

 

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.
