I want to take my pain and turn it into something beautiful.
The rejection
The loneliness
The constant trying and failing...
I refuse to believe that it's for nothing.
Maybe I can take these feelings
And use them as fuel.
Maybe I can take these tears
And use them to water the seeds
To create a life of joy,
Love,
And peace.
Of Freedom.
Maybe it's possible
That I matter too.
Maybe it's not selfish to want more.
Maybe if I allow myself to stand in the light
And be known as I am,
And learn to truly love myself
In all my mistakes
All of my flaws
While also learning to recognize my strengths
And the things that make me unique,
Maybe then I'll know what it's like
To truly be free.
Then maybe it's possible my journey will inspire others.
If I can rework my pain and turn it into joy,
If I can love myself in my totality,
If I can help someone else who feels like I've felt
To know that they are loved
And that they are not alone,
Then every heartache,
Every cry,
Every prayer
Is all worth it.
And it is all worth it.
Despite how it feels now,
Even if we don't see how yet,
Everything is going to be okay.
