Love Letter to Myself

In the fullness of time, it will be realized
Though you do not want to wait
It will be a blessing to build rather than wane
Though sometimes it will feel as your bane
Through perpetuity it will be found
Eventually, you will wear your crown
Perhaps not in the time you wanted
But oh, my love, it will be beautiful
Learn to speak, find your voice
You found safety in silence
You found security in solace
Though now you need look outside yourself
Beloved, do not be afraid
In the moments when fear comes
Put on your face, and be brave
You are stronger than you believe
You will be triumphant when you face the dark
But now you must embark
Follow the path that leads to stars
You can carry more within your heart
Oh, beloved, you are stronger than you know
Though the chasms made out doubt
They have really made you stout
Oh, beloved. You need not walk alone
Though the path may seem more perilous
Strength is found in love
Beloved, do not walk alone
Beloved, do not walk alone
