Learning To Be Real
Instructions For A Happier Life
don’t be afraid to let your inner child be
find the child in another and let that truth set you free
when you strip away titles that have held you down
and stand face to face with the YOU that is found
then you can see the fears that we all try to hide
the softness that hardened from the struggles in life
dreams traded for survival and the fear we shoved down
all to get through the trials and wounds left unbound
then we can learn how to love with that fragile heart
imperfectly honest, tending to each broken part
when we let our guards down, revealing our weakness
we are free from the fear and pain that comes with those secrets
forgiveness is healing and it begins with you
and then others can love the realness in them, too

What a great way to give advice to others. This is quite creative.
Lovey, Kelli. It bounces along nicely with the rhyme, and the words are quite prophetic. Good luck.
Oh boy. This is clever, encouraging and heartfelt. Great entry Kelli lass
