i really hope you heal  
reality makes it seem so surreal  
but in all girl, i really hope you heal. we are taught to be strong  
taught to move on  
taught to put our 'big girl panties on' while we are not taught to heal  
being strong is a norm but what about weakness?  
what about times where we display our meekness? why are we taught to be strong?

why are we taught to move on?  
why are we taught to put our 'big girl panties on'? tuh, i guess i better move on

learning how to love  
as we heal wounds that were not ours  
bandaging those wounds is like reaching beyond stars how can we love? oh how  
when our surroundings consist of such denial healing ourselves in places that we never injured in times  
where we have to surrender...

hoping that someone, just someone will be tender  
tender enough to listen, love, feel- the things that we find are real

i really hope you heal

take time, feel those feels those times will pay off life will  
guide you  
internally you will blossom  
into things that no one could have ever imagined & you will heal girl

you will realize, those feelings were never real  
you will realize temporary problems, do not hinder your blossoms

with time, oh with time you will, heal, girl🤍
