What if those years were not in vain?
What if you think about how you grew
How you affected the people placed in your life?
How about the fact that you are still here?
You lived through one of the hardest things
You still have breath in your lungs and a smile on your face
Those things created you.
They created the resilience unknown to many
It created that women you look back in the mirror
What if, for just one moment, you think about who you became
What gets you moving now?
What keeps you putting one step in front of the other?
It was built up to make you fierce
Your purpose is not yet completely revealed
It will blow your mind when you see it all
Nothing to rave about and nothing to see
To find the voice inside you that has been patiently waiting
You will rise above it all
No one will remain
And that is okay
You never needed them anyways
You will rise above it all
You will see the building of your life
As it was always meant to be
So those things that you went through
It builds into who you are
No better and no less than anyone else
You are finding the strong in you that can not be gifted by anyone
It can not be forced or taken away from you
You built that by your own strength
No one did that but you
You deserve the credit
You deserve the peace you gave away
Sit in that piece and realize it has been waiting for you
Waiting its own time
Waiting for you to be ready to embrace it all
You have earned this freedom
It is very foreign to you
But it is yours for the rest of your life
Freedom to be and play and dance
Freedom to do whatever you want to do
It is all for you, no one can take it away
What if, just what if it all works out?
It will for you, you have been a gracious servant
You deserve all that you are walking into
Open your hands
Lift your head
Walk confidently into the what if’s of this life.
