Could it be


Could it be you were born with a purpose that was smothered by dysfunction Could it be you were taught young that your value was conditional, that you can't just exist without a function Could it be you were taught love had to be earned, not given unconditionally Could it be your words were taken from you because others couldn't hear the truth Could it be you were taught your needs didn't matter because they caused conflict and rejection Could it be certain people were removed from your life because God saw what they did to you Could it be you were born with a purpose that doesn't have to stay smothered by dysfunction Could it be you are ready to shine Could it be it's your turn to be loved correctly Could it be it's time to speak truth Could it be it's your turn to be taken care of and cared for Could it be a new circle of safe people will enter your life With Hope it Could be
