I BELIEVE MYSELF

For many years of my life I wore my heart for all to see Making it much too easy For others to take advantage of me. I lived and I loved three times To the loftiest heights Always crashing to the ground When my loves took wings of flight. I put my whole being into love Never thinking of myself Whatever I truly needed Was put high upon a shelf. I thought another person Could make me whole Until I spent hours alone Looking deep within my soul. Life is different now I found the woman I used to be I know once again who I am inside In myself I now believe. I know what I have to offer I am kind .... I love .... I care No one will crush my spirit again For now I'm wiser and aware.
