Hold Onto Your World

Hold onto your world little girl 
and please don't kill the butterflies. 
Remain sweet when society taste bitter 
and keep that light in your mind.
Forget the nonsense of self-violence, 
because your eyes didn't vision your worth yet.
Your days as a Goddess will surpass
those days absent as a princess.
Even if mama and daddy don't see it,
you have to value the art you are.
Once you forgive them and yourself,
freedom will come along and kiss those scars.
Your words will cover you, hovering you
over places your wings didn't dare go,
and honestly the sight of your soul from 
here is incredible and magical.
The self-staring contest in the mirror
you will finally win because understanding 
the standard of beauty was never bound to skin.
You have years before those who leave 
bitter kisses and bruised lips arrive.
You've got to hold on for dear life,
don't look down and don't open your eyes.
Just know you'll come out of this alive.
All you've got is right now, so you've got to
hold on and don't forget your way home.
