Your heart felt distance from your soul
So you tied your worries to your work
For control
You stood too long where the shadow grow
While fortune twisted your hand from
the seeds you sowed
Lost in the dark, you stayed in place
Watching flamed of blessings turn from your face
All you struggled and worked to gain
Slipped like sand through silent pain
You forgot yourself too long
Humming stress like a weary song
Drifting inside the shades of you
A light unplugged but always true
And when the star begin to rise
It breaks the sky and flood the skies
A gentle gleam, a bold new start
A worldwide glow burn from your heart
So step out now, no need to hide
Work towards purpose you carry inside
Lace self love into what you do
Solve the problem meant for you
Because even bruised, you're still sweet
Not half, not scattered "Complete"
