Yours To Create

Gravity may have the strength to pull you down but not tonight, you will find come morning light you're gonna spread your wings and fly.

Tell gravity, "you won't pull me down tonight. not without a fight. this is my life

I'm gonna spread my wings and fly."

When i was young, i had the greatest dreams

Imaginary visions of who i wanted to be

I wanted to fly,

And honestly nothing's changed

Except surroundings and the people condescending saying wait are you crazy, out of your mind? kid get your act together while there's still time.

And maybe it got to me, but hey, i shook it off

But for her, words had never really hit that soft.

She was fifteen

Wanted to change the world

Knew that she

Was gonna be more than just an ordinary girl.

And that's when it happened,

Every place turned cold

Every kid in the halls

Made her dream grow old

And i wish that i was there

Every time she felt so alone

To tell her there are people who really care,

Who need the girl she is to live on.

By the time she was 17

She already had a repertoire of names she never chose to be called.

While every boy and every girl used her as comical relief, or the napkin to wipe all the remains of what they believed were their problems. they have no idea

That when they go home to their parents

She is left to think

She's a waste of space.

A product that god had tried and tried to erase

You know how that feels, don't you?

But just wait a second

There's a reason why you're here.

A reason why you are 103 days clean and counting.

I know it's in you

You were chosen, you were meant to rise up when they cast you off as broken. maybe you don't see it yet, but that's okay. nobody's story can be summarized into one day. you are the underdog, the unknown hero, something more than just nicknames in the hallways.

And when you can't forget what they said, use that fire to ignite the spark inside that skyrockets you through the darkest nights.

Whatever it is. how much you weigh, the color of your skin, wherever you come from

It doesn't matter.

You were not abandoned on the side of the road.

But simply given the chance to pave your own way home.

And i can't wait until you finally see

That the greatest thing about you is not your insecurities.

So don't you dare give up

Because you will find love

Someone who lives for who you are. who finds perfection in your flaws, and loves every thing that you do. who will understand all that you've been through.

Someone that will feel the same way when you finally say those three beautiful words "i love you." and i can finally say "i told you."

This is my life.

I'm gonna spread my wings and fly.

You are as beautiful as you believe yourself to be. so why not make your consequences brilliant and everlasting?

The life you want is yours to create.
