Darling,

give yourself a break.

Let your shoes fall to the floor and hold your memories in the air.

You didn't lose your conscience,

not here at least.

Darling,

go on a date.

Let someone love you like you know you should.

Maybe you don't know, but to him it is obvious.

You didn't lose your heart,

not yet at least

darling.

When you're screaming on the inside and can't lift your head,

give yourself a break.

Give yourself a pass.

Let your hair be as is and don't fix your makeup every ten minutes.

Show yourself you're loved and don't need a hit,

a jab,

a cut.

Give yourself a break darling, give yourself a break.

You're working when you're not, you're high and mighty when you're low.

You're powerful and bright.

Next time, there won't be a next time because this is your break.

Take your meds and don't feel selfish,

listen light and don't overthink it,

you're made for this kind of world

You're made for this break.

Darling,

your talent is you.
