What am I to tell you about this pain that you’re feeling

I can’t say I understand completely, but I know you need healing

And that I want to help you begin

If not, get through

Sometimes all we need is an ear and I’m listening

Sometimes all we need is a hug and my arms are open

Sometimes all we need is someone to sit with us

So that we know we aren’t alone and I’m here

But sometimes we just need to know that someone still loves us

I say all of that to say, I love you

I care about your life and I want the best for you

I want to see you thrive, feeling alive every day

I know you can, it’s already in you

How you get so far if part of you never wanted to

The fight is in you, the answer is in you

The survivor is in you, you are all you need to begin

Because all you need is within

I know it is dark right now, probably very dark right now

You can’t see a better life right now

You can barely see yourself right now

But understand, it may just be on the other side of your pain

Just like the sun is always on the other side of the rain

This is the time to grind so when the sun’s out you can shine

And the next moon, however soon, won’t be covered by so much

That you miss the beauty of the night

In sunlight and moonlight, you are beautiful

Choose love over hate, life over death

Sew what is torn, give it new breath

There's always room for improvement

Give yourself a chance to be better

Really believe you are and work at it

You may be surprised how far

It'll take you without breaking you

But by, instead, improving you

Don't do it for others, many don't want to see it

Do it for yourself, because you want to be it

Remember

After storms, beautiful things are born
