Do you remember that day you gave up?
That day you gave in to your fears.
You let them bully you because
You thought you couldn't fight back.
You let them walk all over you,
Treating you like trash.
Do you remember that day you chickened out of your favourite project?
You thought you couldn't do it.
You said you didn't have what it takes,
And you weren't ready.
You looked yourself in the mirror and said you weren't worth it.

You lied.
Because:
You can do so much more than you think.
You have what it takes.
You can defend yourself.
You are ready,
And you can do it.
You are worth so much.
You are who you think you are.
You can win over your fears
And, you are who you say you are.

I know you messed up that day.
And the other day too.
You broke that promise you were determined to keep
And you let it break you.
You were disappointed,
And here you are, beating yourself up.
But,
Do you know you tried your best?
Even when you didn't, you did.
Yeah, you messed up.
So what?
Everyone messes up sometimes
Why should you beat yourself up?
Perfection is a realm we can't reach.

So,
Gather yourself together,
Accept your faults,
And take a step foward.
Make amends.
Slipping up is part of the process.
Nobody said growth will be perfect,
We all fumble, trying to find the right path.
Learn from your mistakes,
Apologize to the wronged; to yourself.
You didn't know any better.
Be kind to yourself, and others,
And say those loving words to yourself.
You deserve it.
Believe in you
Because I believe in you.
You can do it!
