The music within

I see you losing yourself and it breaks my heart.
You used to try,
You had an unquenchable desire to make a difference; to have more; to be you; to find your inner peace.
You saw it, you talked of it, for a while it seemed like you believed it.
Then you lost it.
Well you gave it to him nicely wrapped, and he took it, crushed it, destroyed your spirit, dulled the passion, stripped the colour you'd started to fill in.
And she saw this, she saw you vulnerable again, and she took the pieces and hid them so far and wide, you've now seemingly given up finding and putting them together.

I watch you being pulled into the vortex of life as you know it, struggling for air, wanting to break free, but bound by the invisible strings you've grown accustomed to, and it makes me sad.
Just because this shit is what you know, this shit doesn't have to be what you accept.
You're not weak, you are one of the strongest people I know. Especially for others.
Be that person for you.
Stop punishing yourself for crimes you did not commit.
You deserve so much more than you're resigning yourself to accept.

Yes there's insecurities here that we all have, and I understand that its easier to allow them to over rule.
It's easier to just let it be.
But what, that is worthwhile, is easy? Easy isn't easy if you can't be you. Easy isn't easy when the happiness you seek seems to be getting further and further out of your grasp.

Know this, you have strength in your essence, courage buried in the depths of your eyes, untapped power behind your soft heart, and there's no denying that unmistakable beauty of your soul.

Come look, see yourself through my eyes, see the wonder I see.
Take my hand, I'll help you as I always have tried to.
Some parts of this journey I know you need to take with someone else or by yourself, but you have your faith in God, and that means you'll never be alone.

Find your solo rhythm
Live the serene lyrics
Embrace the vibrant melody
And yes there's the storm you fear right now, but stand up and face it -
Dance, just dance
A rainbow will soon appear.
