I Will Grow

My sensitivity is not a burden, but strength 

I feel everything deeply through every blow 

Standing firm as roots with my standards rising 

I won't crumble.  I will grow 

 

I lose the version of myself that survived 

To find myself after getting lost in sorrow 

Shattering old beliefs as I plant this new seed 

I won't crumble. I will grow 

 

I will show up and do the inner work 

With my crown on straight, watch me go 

Scars become wisdom as I water these dreams 

I won't crumble. I will grow 

 

I soar with my inner radiant light 

Protecting my energy with peace to follow 

I reflect, release, and rise in the warmth  

I won't crumble. I will grow 

 

I refuse to become what broke me 

I honor my soul as I let him go 

Closed doors direct me to open ones 

I will not crumble. I will grow
