      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#39;ve held on
to so much
for so long</p>

<p>So much pain
So much regret
So much resentment</p>

<p>I never knew how
to let go
But it&#39;s time
That I start learning</p>

<p>Deep breaths
Open my hands
Let go</p>

<p>It&#39;s finally time
To let it all go</p>

      <title>Walk Away</title>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We can hear them laughing
For me, it was a lifetime ago
For you, it&#39;s happening right now

They&#39;re going to keep laughing
Because we&#39;re different
Because we don&#39;t communicate like they do
Because we don&#39;t understand the rules they have</p>

<p>It doesn&#39;t matter what they do
They can&#39;t hurt us anymore
They can&#39;t make us feel bad anymore</p>

<p>Take my hand
And I&#39;ll show you what real kindness looks like</p>

<p>Let&#39;s leave them behind
And walk away
into a brighter future</p>

      <title>Allow Your Mistakes to Help You</title>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all mess up
We’ve all done something wrong
And when we hurt someone
the pain digs in and stays for very long

We’ve all gone through it
It’s another part of life
But the choices you make next
can lead to even more strife</p>

<p>You can brush it off
act like it’s no big deal
but when you’re hurting inside
people will notice that your face isn’t real</p>

<p>Or you can take another path
you can allow your mistakes to help you
Help you heal and learn and grow
And in time, blossom into something brand new</p>

      <title>Your Future Bright</title>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mistakes are inevitable
You can’t avoid or escape them
They are the foundation of your growth
You are a flower, they are your stem

But some people will hold them against you
Cling to them, grip tightly, fixate
All they see is that one action
To them, you will always be that mistake</p>

<p>But one mistake does not define you
That isn’t who you are
You’ve changed so much since then
You’ve come so very far</p>

<p>It may be hard, but I hope you know
That the past is not a cage to trap you inside
but a pedestal on which to stand
as you reach for your future bright</p>

      <description>Injury&#xA;invisible to others&#xA;hindering your ability&#xA;to be who you were</description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Injury
invisible to others
hindering your ability
to be who you were

Fury
as you try to continue
only to realize
that everything’s different</p>

<p>Please
try to understand
that this is normal
this is how healing goes</p>

<p>Some days
you will want to quit
Others, you will feel
like you did nothing at all</p>

<p>But if you keep going
you will get there
You will get better
You will heal</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When someone stabs a knife
full of ignorance and hate
right into your heart
it’s okay to want to stab back

There’s no changing some people
they proudly flaunt
everything that’s wrong with them
everything they used to hurt you</p>

<p>The feelings you have now
so much pain, so much anger
drive you to lash out
even at those for whom you care</p>

<p>Don’t fight on their level
You are better than that
Show them a better way
A way without hate</p>

<p>Stop the cycle
Rise above it
Don’t fight with hate
Win instead with kindness</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You got lost and confused
In your chaos, you messed up
The only thing to do now
is to own it and fess up

Don’t give excuses
That won’t change anything
The only solution here
is to do something</p>

<p>Don’t waste your time
beating yourself up
Yeah, you made a mistake
But you aren’t a screw up</p>

<p>This is a chance to improve
A chance to learn and grow
Take it, own it, rise up
This is your time to show</p>

<p>That you are better than this</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a time
when friends for whom you cared
drifted away, making you think
“I am forgettable”

There was a time
when you had a purpose
and then someone else took over, and you thought
“I am replaceable”</p>

<p>There was a time
when these thoughts were all you had
echoing, over and over, until you thought
“I should be alone”</p>

<p>I hope now is the time
you see how unique you are
how special you are
and think something else</p>

<p>That you are not forgettable
You are not replaceable
You are not alone
You are special</p>

      <title>Keep Moving On</title>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When life crashes around you
And all you can see is destruction
Take a deep breath
and start moving on

When everything falls apart
it’s okay to scream and carry on
once you’ve settled down
it’s time to move on</p>

<p>When your dreams lie strewn about
bleeding, dying, as you look on
it’s okay to lie down and cry
then get back up and move on</p>

<p>Life will throw blow after blow
and sometimes, you have to take each one
but you are strong enough
to keep getting back up</p>

<p>And keep moving on</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes, people let you down
They make a bad choice
They change into someone they weren’t
They slip back into old habits

Sometimes, someone lives in a dream for so long
That when reality hits them,
it runs them over
and they see someone they don’t recognize</p>

<p>Sometimes, worst of all
that person that let you down
that person you don’t recognize
is you</p>

<p>But it’s okay</p>

<p>It’s okay to disappoint yourself
It’s okay to let yourself down
It’s okay to fail
So long as you never stop trying</p>
