Growing strong

Moving along

Held up by hands that have moulded,

My burdens shouldered

I trace with my fingers, pressing into my soft skin

This brand new year is mine for taking, fresh with opportunities, and happiness within

My tears have cleared my vision, and I’ve cleared my schedule for me

The candles are lit, the phone is off, and my mind is freed

I will be loved.

I will find love.

Because that is what I deserve

Comfort and soft blankets and memories to preserve

They teach and preach the hate, sell products to promote their cause

In this harsh and dreadful world, the most rebellious you can be is loving yourself and flaws
