My heart is aching; Shedding tears of pain. Where are you? I need you. I scream your name Again and again. Wretched cries In the dead of night. I miss you so much; If I had wings I’d take flight. High into the heavens I’d quickly ascend. To hear your sweet voice Like whispers on the wind.
Belonging is acceptance. Realizing your flaws are golden. Loving yourself No matter what. Knowing that you’re worthy Of everything good. Keeping in mind That you are exactly Who God made you to be And He don’t make mistakes. No apologies needed. Living day by day With love in your heart For yourself and others. It’s looking past Everything you’re not And embracing Who you are with pride. Finding refuge within. Falling in love With yourself all over again. This is where True belonging begins.
The stars were what i liked most about the sky. Always so radiant. Full of hope. Leading the way In the darkest of nights. Soothing my soul In the gloomiest of days. I could always count on the stars To remain in place; Never wavering.
Then, they started to fall. Crushing my dreams. Leaving me helpless With a shattered heart. I took the stars for granted. Never realizing my need for light Dimmed theirs; Until they could no longer shine. The fault is mine.
Your words eat at me like a plague. Destroying me from the inside out. You say I’m worthless, Dumb, weak, One dimensional. I’m not a good wife, mother, Or anything. And I believe you. I look in the mirror and try to smile While the tears fall. What am I to do?
A still, small voice begins to Whisper in my ear. Telling me that I’m fearfully and wonderfully made. I’m strong, fearless. I’m everything you say I’m not. Love and confidence swell inside me. I look in the mirror and smile. No more tears. Is this how it feels to be happy?
You barge in. My soul goes up in flames once again. Your words eating at me like a plague. Destroying me from the inside out.
