The Storm is Over

A dream desired

But you’re hanging by strings

 Like a puppet on a wire

 

You used to love yourself

You see the girl in the mirror but you don’t know her

 

You’re fighting the storm but nothing goes right

Loving yourself

Now is such a fight

 

Between the darkness and the light

You’re fading to black

You keep getting pulled back

 

Neon signs flash before your eyes

And your tears can’t wash away your fears

But you keep on trying

 

Push forward, see the light

Baby girl you used to be so bright

 

You’re a wishing things would shape up

 And the stars would align 

But remember baby girl she’s up there smiling

 

She didn’t forget you

And I know she misses you too

Looking up at the sky

The clouds no longer collide  

Sheltered from the storm it’s over now

You’re on higher ground

 

Free yourself don’t forget who you are

Paths collide

But it’s your time to shine

Be yourself

Move on

Now forgive your self

Love yourself
