No superhero. Be your own hero

20170729_090310

Another day comes to an end,
There’s no more time, don’t just pretend.
You’re not all well, so do not wait
For someone else to walk in late.
What superhero do you need?
You’ll end up bleeding hard, indeed.

So just stand tall and trust yourself,
Forget the tears with which you’ve dealt.
Look at yourself: you’re strong enough!
It’s time you finished that rough draft.
You’re beautiful, you’re true, you’re you,
A superhero will not do.

You’ve got yourself, you will survive,
The little girl within will thrive.
You’re here to stay and you will fight,
And you’ll do it with such delight!
A hero who has known defeat,
Yet here you are—still on your feet.

It Takes Courage

20170812_205126

When all there’s left is only doubt,
When in your heart there’s only drought,
When you have nothing else to give
And still warm love you don’t receive,
When you’re alone and no one else
Tears down your wall of self-defense,
Remember—you are not alone:
You’ve got yourself—so carry on!

But it takes courage to begin,
To climb back up, to take a spin,
And it takes courage to go on,
And to have faith, and to move on.
But if you’re brave, you will succeed.
Despite the tears, always believe,
As it takes courage to reveal
What was inside and how you’ve healed.

Da Capo al Poetry

GClef.svgThen, in the beginning, there was only music

And the music gave me tremendous delight.

It touched my whole being and my soul, entirely

And it brought me surely out into the light.

And the music led me to the place where my words

Echoed through my being, through my mind, my heart.

There, my thoughts, my feelings can be seen evolving,

Dancing as they’re making their way into art.
