Remember your self

you are not half of a whole

left on a half shelf.

✨

Sometimes we lose us

trying to be what they want

when they don't choose us.

✨

We think "not enough"

when we are left standing there

but we're not " less than".

✨

We are still " more than"

to someone who sees our worth

past our deficits.

✨

Stop placing so much

on what someone thinks of us,

that we give up us.

✨

Lyrics to "You're Not Broken"

You're walking through the storm, with the weight upon your soul

Every step felt hard to take, every breath was cold

You believed the voice of fear, every word it said

But the truth was always there, living in your chest

Even when the road is long, even when your heart feels small

There's a light you carry on, brighter than it all

You were always enough, even on your darkest days

Through the night and the doubt, through the pain you faced

You were never too lost, you were finding your way

You were always enough, even on your darkest days

All the tears you tried to hide, all the wounds inside your heart

Were not signs that you were weak, just a place to start

Every scar you carry now is a story of your fight

Every broken piece you felt was becoming light

You were always enough, even on your darkest days

Through the night and the doubt, through the pain you faced

You were never too lost, you were finding your way

You were always enough, even on your darkest days

Let the past fall away, you don't have to hold it now

All the weight that you carry, you can lay it down

Feel the light in your chest, feel it start to rise

You were never broken, just learning how to fly

You were always enough, even on your darkest days

Through the night and the doubt, through the pain you faced

You were never too lost, you were finding your way

You were always enough, even on your darkest place

You were always enough, even when the sky was gray

Through the dark, you became everything you are today.
