The Words I Never Said

Entangled in the words that people have said

Hiding behind the  pettiness that you never spoke  

Embarrassed, as you realize that you are better than  

the words that you just thought

Why does it matter, if HE never whispered those sweet nothings to you? 

When you allow others to validate you  

You are discrediting your creator

As He made you... just as He wanted you to be

--and forgave you for changing to what you thought you ought to be  

For HE is the epitiome of love

So stop fighting it

Running and hiding, allow it to enlighten

Shed the past  

Submerge into the new

If you only knew

How good that righteousness looks on you

Wear it proudly on your sleeves

More importantly --believe

Believe that you have the strength to  be the best version  

of you today

Be vulnerable

Get on your knees, and...

Pray
