I hate my insecurity
I hate my doubts
I sometimes even hate myself

Even just for a fraction of a second
When my scars shows in the mirror
The scars that no one can see
But me

People see the happy me
People see the smile
The spark
The joyful me

And I am that too
Happy
Sparkling
Like champagne


But I am also scared
Scared of my own light
Radiance
So I
Fight it

Putting myself down
Pulling myself up
Writing songs
About life


Because I do love life
So much
Don`t get me wrong
It`s just hard sometimes
to feel that you don`t belong
anywhere

Confusion takes over
Cluttering up your mind
Before the sunrise
makes you realize
that this day
is your day
And you can do
whatever you set your mind on


I am grateful to wake up
And hear the birds sing
I am grateful to be walking
down the street
Taking in all the beauty
It`s just that sometimes

I don`t see the beauty in me
I am so blinded by the pattern
of my thoughts
By my doubts and insecurity
But believe me
I just want to shine
I just want to dare
I just want to say
That I am here with all my strength
And then in another fraction of a second
I see an angel
No wings
No halo
Just a smile
Comforting me
A few words of wisdom
A reminder
of who I can be
If I dare

I pray at night
To wake up and dare
Dare to shine
Dare to love myself the way I am

Dare to be me

And when I am
That happy girl
It is for real
Just as when I am doubtful
Sad or insecure

It is me
for real

I just need to remind myself
that I am good enough

Just the way I am

I am here to shine
Just like you

I just have to dare

to let that light

Shine through
