Is it possible to find yourself, figure out who you are
When the thought of finding it out seems so, so far
Beaten up emotionally and physically throughout life
Going through divorce, despite being an amazing wife
Daughters who are amazing, they are everything, life revolves around them
Days you may wonder, are you anyone’s precious gem
Daughters adore you, love you to no end
Blessed with some of amazing family and friends
Who are you and will you ever be a happy girl?
You make your own happiness, so step up your game
Step out of your comfort zone, try to be less tame
Do not let men control you, although sadly you have let them
You need to take control and not give a shit
Respect yourself first, before anyone else will respect you
Deep down you must find the person you were meant to be
Make time for yourself, do the things you enjoy very much
Get therapy if needed, no more fears of any such
Keep your positive attitude everyday, no matter what
People may not understand you or your choices, they can kiss your butt
Stop catering to people who don’t give a damn about your needs
Focus on the good, but point out the negatives you see
Don’t let yourself get caught up in the drama others choose to create
Surround yourself with those that can truly relate
Finding your own happiness might seem hard
Although at this point, you hold all the cards
You have to know when to hold and to fold
Realizing who warms your heart and who makes it cold
Deep down you have always had the answers
You were too afraid to stand up and fight for those answers
You now know you have the strength to find yourself, to be you
Take a long look at the beautiful, kind girls you have raised, you and only you
You may think to be happy, you always needed a man by your side
Or were you just warped int to thinking this, you would just run and hide
You can find yourself again, in due time
When that time comes, your world be right and you’ll be just fine
Your life will yours to live, no one will have control of you honestly
Anyone who doubts you, can kiss your ass, they will see
Family, best friends and your girls are behind you, cheering you on
The actual you will shine through, while controlled, scared You will be long gone.
