Oh baby girl,
life is going to throw you down
you're going to hurt like you never thought you could
your heart will ache at night when you're alone
you'll lose that boy that made the world seem brighter
so then, you'll feel dark
you'll feel as if the ground was ripped from under you
and now you're treading air trying not to fall
but darling, you'll fall
and not gracefully
you'll hit the cold
cruel
corrosive ground breaking your bones
your soul
you will lay there for a minute
awhile
now you get up
you take every piece of yourself that someone along the way broke
and you build it
it doesn't have to be clean
it'll be messy
some pieces will be cracked
but baby
your brokenness is beauty
you've touched hell
and built up what the fire left with you
you will have scars
but one day
someone
will see that beauty in broken
your courage in the way the scars each have a story
the beautifully flawed girl behind the sadness
they will see it all
every crack
every bruise
every misplaced piece
every hole in your happiness
and they will fill it with theirs
they will take from themselves to patch you
and then baby girl
then you'll know why you had to fall to fly
