Remember This

In the end, it doesn't matter
When the storm ends and the blood dries
When everything is said and done
When emotions are spent and words are gone

The damages are done and the bullet hit
From the bottom, there's only up 
For nobody can lie here forever in this abyss
So pick up the broken heart

Bury the dead and forgive the wrongs
Thank them for the lessons they've given
Assess the damage and rebuild what's gone
Piece by piece, create a better version

Live another life, find another dreams
You're still breathing, you're still hope
Its going to be different but doesn't mean
It can't be as good as you wished for

Sometimes another version is better
Than the one that was destroyed
For the heart is stronger and life deeper
Than the event that took your previous life away

Sometimes when you catch yourself
Remembering everything else and ache your heart
Say a little prayer and shed a few tears
Its okay to reminiscence but life is for the NOW.

SHE

She took the risk, gave everything up
For a chance to be somebody to him
Only for him to turn his back on her
Just when she needed him most

He made her feel like nothing
Made her feel like a failure
Made her feel like she wasn't worth
Anything good anymore

And for years, she clung on
To his narrative of who she was
That she was small and cursed
An used and failed good

Once or twice she thought she had a chance
When they flattered her bruised heart
Only for them to use her like he did
Just when she needed much more

But tonight, she's going to stop it all
First, she's going to forgive herself
For all the faults and lies she told herself
Of being nothing more than what she's now

She's going to remember who she really is
Of her strength and how far she has grown
She's going to rewrite her story
And make herself the hero

She's going to give herself the love
And acceptance she deserves
She's going to rebuild all of her
Until they see the goddess that she is.
