You wake up in the morning
feeling so alive and fresh
You smile into your mirror
You dance while you get dressed
Your happy heart ignites with light
And life seems beautiful again
But that little nagging voice says
“Let the doubt sink back in”
Your spirit though is bright enough
to power through the dark
It’s what makes you beautiful
and gives the world a spark
So tell the voice to shut the fuck up
and darken your door no more
Because loving yourself dear
shouldn’t be such a chore
