Reconcile from The Light by Natalie Lucie

I was never a bad girl
I was a sad girl in a mad world
Where a certain reputation
Gives a person protection
From fear of rejection
You think if you’re untouchable
That makes you unbreakable
If you’re impossible
It won’t be possible
To get hurt

But then you start to shed skin
You might find a self inside
That’s worth fighting for
And with self-reflecting
Comes the guilt and the shame
Of what’s gone before
I overcompensated
Tried to give all of me
Perfectly, all of the time
I abandoned myself
To ensure everyone else around me was fine

Everything I was
Was a product of
The shit that I’d been through
You can sit and judge
But if you’d walked in these shoes
You would have been that way too
I was in hiding
Simply surviving
No idea of the woman I’d be
Gave myself time
Owned what was mine
And started to step into me

Running back to the light
Running back to the light
Running back to the light
Coming back to life
