Writing lines for my sanity

Affirmations visualizations

Build up my self worth

Working diligently to study them

Implant them into my subconscious

Where I can start believing them

Some even for the first time ever

You come along with your lines

And I want to believe them too

But I’m trepidatious

Hoping yours are not just lines

Smoke and mirrors appearing between tears

Believing others lines has lined me up for heartbreak

Nearly snuffing out my flame

A few too many times

I work to believe my own lines

Not sniffing lines but uplifting lines

Empowering words worth my life

Rebuilding who I am

One

Word

At

A

Time

Not letting you break me

With

All

Your

Words

You

Now

Say

Today

One day I’ll trust

Trust myself, trust others

Tell the difference

But for now these lines I repeat

Are life lines to my new life

A life where I love and trust and respect myself

Where I truly believe I can do anything

Because I am

And your lines merely complement what I already know

And I don’t need them to add to my flow

For I glow all on my own

One day I’ll know

I can do it all on my own

And one day I won’t have to
