We

What if we can accept ourselves for who we really are  
We are weak and vulnerable
We are love and we are strong 
Flesh and bone although sticks and stones may stand in the way of you being whole
Stick and stones can only wound the soul 
Our bodies fields of activities 
The world a field of activity 
Like a wise man once said 
Things has to happen for us to know who we are 
I don’t know who I am yet 
But I know why I am 
I was brought into this world by a little girl who didn’t know what she was doing making it up as she went along 
She lived her life trying to make sense on why she was here 
Truth is it doesn’t really matter why your here  
Is it what you make of it while you are here 
And every day there’ s a little peace breaking away inside all of us 
We are allowed to make mistakes
We are allowed to be weak 
We are allowed to be a bubble full of emotions
And if we don’t cry and acknowledge we grow skin upon skin
