may i speak in truthful cliches
for only a moment or two?
speak with words for me to
somehow connect with you.
if you allow me to say a few
things i swear it'll pay
for what i've learned from life
at twenty-two is all i have to say:

loving myself is the hardest
thing i've ever had to do
it's something i still struggling with
and gain the strength by few.
i relapse a lot. roll over and flop,
but always stand up tall.
the trick you see is to never worry.
and to never be afraid to fall.
