Most of all

Most of all

You deserve your own love protection and care

Most of all you need to know

That someone is there

Someone deep down inside of you

That can accept and understand

And be a witness

To all that you have lived through

Or suffered at another’s hands

Hard as it is to accept at times

That humans can hurt others so much

Or just turn a blind eye

To hidden depths of need

Never allowed to be spoken

Never the less

You can make yourself this promise

That you will commit to reality

That you will never again turn your back

Upon your own suffering

And difficult as it can be to believe

That you have the strength in you

To be your own best friend and healer

I can promise you

That somewhere deep inside

Lives a loving power

Who can bear with you through all of the storms

And trials and tribulations of this life

And make for you

A place of protection

Understanding compassion

And friendly devotion

No matter what comes

Resolve never again

To be

The willing accomplice

To your soul’s betrayal
