Gentle Reminder

Title goes here Gentle Reminder

Written by Designed by When the sun goes down and the moon comes up, That’s when you are most vulnerable, Throughout the day you are master at concealing your emotions and Bottling up any thoughts that can render you vulnerable But you lose this ability when the stars come to play, When it’s night-time and you are alone in your room, You no longer have the strength to pretend, Only then do you permit your mind to open the chambers of your heart And the “What if ” questions come bursting out, overflowing your thoughts, flooding your mind, Only then do think of your insecurities, past lovers, Poor mistakes, embarrassing moments and Your crippling loneliness overpowers you and you almost Lose yourself.

You forget how far you’ve come and how far you are going, Once upon a time you were in a dark place, A place where your self-worth depended on others and You sacrificed your mental health and body for bittersweet words, A place where a simple word could shatter your crumbling self-image and Send you spiralling deeper into your self destruction, You spat harsh lyrics to yourself more than you sang sweet songs to yourself, Once upon a time you were in a bad place But now you are in a better place, A place where you are learning to love yourself again and You realise that calculating your “worth” is as toxic as placing your worth on others, A place where you value your mental health and body over bittersweet words and You are steadily picking up the crumbling images of yourself and slowly mending them So that a simple phrase can no longer shatter your core, When the sun goes down and the moon comes up, That’s when you are most vulnerable And during this time remember how you’ve come and how far you are going So that you don’t easily lose yourself.
