Self-growth
Damsel Salatan 1997 (Philippines)
Don't know where to start and to end
I will try to tell you what I meant—
The truth is,
There's so much more to life.
I've learned to understand that
although I am just a small part of this world,
I can do big things.
My truth is found in who I really am,
not who I try to be or what someone
thinks of me.
Break free from all the pressure.
Break free from comparing
myself to everyone.
Break free from believing that
I am not good enough.
Trying my best to
remind myself;
how far I'v come
not how far I still need to go.
Whatever I want to be,
I'll keep going,
no matter what.
I may not have the control
over the things,
but I believe that
I'll get there.
Trust the process.
