I Can't Bend

I can't bend anymore All I am is a war (is a war) All they say is "You'll be OK" I'm still lost here without them Take your place, there's no mistake Now you're deep in the rotten Can I let go? I can't bend anymore All I am is a war They tell me "Look on the bright side" There is more light that my fear is just a lie 'Cause I can't bend anymore ~Lyrics from "I Can't Bend" by Glasslands Over time, over struggle, we become a wall. A wall of strength. Of understanding our past. At times when we feel what we're going through is rotten, we must keep in mind that rotten things give nutrients to help things grow. We will grow. We are growing. Don't bend, my friend. Stand firm in knowing yourself. In knowing your needs. Your desires, your goals. They say you'll be okay... Believe this. Believe in yourself. Love yourself, and have grace and patience. Know that you're alive. You're continuously growing and learning. Remember mistakes, and turn them around. Make peace with others, and with yourself. Though it may seem hard, forgive yourself, make things right. And love yourself, though sometimes you may feel you don't deserve it. Love yourself. You have a beautiful light inside of you. Let it shine, and share your beautiful colors with the world.
