Get up

I found a way to grieve

Without making a sound

I carried heartache

no-one was around

I learnt how to be stronger

How to stand my ground

I watched love ones leave

When I had nothin left to give

I stopped giving my shoulder

I chose my life to live

I moved in silence

I remembered my worth

Sat with the memories

Just knew there were new ones to birth

It doesn’t mean it don’t way heavy

All them years I left behind

It just means that I’m growing

And I’m finding what’s mine

You can’t stay down

Get up

drag one foot forward

Place the other in front

Chase that love that you once poured

I’ve let go of what felt like heartache

I stopped asking why

I started giving to myself

I stopped wanting to cry

I let em misunderstand me

I let em say what they like

I know who that I am

And I know I’m not always right

I over helped. Was underpaid

Worked with bleeding hands

Often prayed

Had doors close

Felt abandoned

But I never let life make my heart cold

You can’t stay down

Get up

Drag one foot forward

Place the other one in front

Your not alone

Just show up

For you

Make some plans

Write down your thoughts

Keep it positive

All those battles you fought

See the lessons & what they taught

Share the part of you that stands tall

Don’t stay down

Keep getting up

You are loved

You are enough
