Girl, Be Brave

Hearts break, tears fall, people leave

Hearts heal, tears still fall, people stay

You’re hurt now, but you’ll get stronger

Cliches ring true:

•what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger

•this too shall pass

Minutes pass and the pain stings a little less

Sing a song. Don’t care if anyone hears you-

Dance to the beat. If they’re looking it’s because they wanna dance too.

Kiss the boy. Make his night. Feel his skin.

Laugh loud. Show your smile.

Wear the short dress, your legs won’t always look like they do right now.

Let your hair down. Be thankful you have it.

Live your truth and show the world who you are, let your soul shine and don’t give any fucks.

Protect your heart, but don’t hoard it.

Girl, be brave.
