Dare to Heal


For once in my life, do I dare to feel hope?

Have I finally arrived somewhere that I'll learn to cope?

I can begin to cast aside my self-doubt,

And find something in which to be proud.

Even though it hurts, I'm learning to deal with how I feel,

And I believe, this time, I could actually heal.
