Set Yourself Free
Set Yourself Free
Maybe right now this journey, your journey is only about you and yourself,
Maybe this is only your season when you become your own savior and safe.
At this moment, you should know that all those people who walked away,
They were only leading you back here to yourself, though they didn’t stay.
But here you are okay on your own, recovering, mending, and rebuilding,
And all the pieces of yourself that they walked away with, you are reclaiming.
You need to start letting go of everything and everyone you have held onto,
Don’t allow your past to take up the space that is meant for tomorrow, for you.
Accept that sometimes beautiful things end and sometimes people leave,
Let yourself move forward to and for the better after you let yourself grieve.
Sometimes two human beings don’t beat the odds and that’s fine, it is okay,
Find the closure in that, because someone will make a home in your heart someday.
Someone will care in the softest ways and bring you the deepest kind of bliss,
But to experience it, you need hope to believe in the radiant future there is.
Focus only on the ones who’ve stayed with you, who appreciate and respect you,
Do not lose touch with what you have, chasing the things you no longer do.
Be kinder and gentler to your soul, give yourself the same love you’ve given to others,
Have the courage to understand yourself and unhinge to reveal the gritty parts.
Forgive yourself for not fighting the sadness that was slowly swallowing you,
Heal yourself even when it hurts, but protect the parts that make you, you.
And you are strong enough to let go, to walk away and stand up for what you need,
You are not weak and not broken, your foundations are stronger than concrete.
Everything you once considered a failure was just an opportunity to bloom,
Remember that you are deserving and worthy of all the stars, and the moon.
