It's a big bad world, darling
They tease and please
They taunt
They lie and they deceive
They starve and drench
And they do it again
The world won't be your
Parents home, your mothers lap
It's be dark, grey
It'll be tiring and lonely
And it'll disappoint
Your people will cheat
And desert on your worst day
But darling, remember
Close your eyes and
Take a deep breath
Look inside your immense heart
Look inside your immense strength
Your innermost layer of power
Look beyond what you see
And look beneath what appears
Look within your dear self
Your endless strength
That'll only grow each day
Look yourself in the mirror
And get inspired, darling
You survived another day
And the world didn't fall over
The sky didn't disappear
You prevailed, a day at a time
An inch closer to your goal
A smile, maybe a tear, at a time
Darling,
You did well, you did enough
You didn't give up
