Release.

Release the sadness.
Welcome in joy with open arms,
"Hello, old friend. Let me give
You a hug!"

Release the stress,
It's time you let go and
Have a much needed rest.

Release the anxiety that
You've always known,
Gluing you together like
Cement covering your bones.

Though it may be difficult,
Everything worth fighting for
Always is.

Always remember that through
Every inconvenient heavily cloaked
Curtain of struggle, that you have
Experienced so far.

You should be proud of yourself,
For how far You've come.

Release any second hand worry,
That you subconsciously absorbed from
Someone else.

Sometimes the best way to
Help that someone, is by letting
Them go and rebuilding yourself.
There is no greater Priority than
You.

It's time you chose who you help for good -
Them, or You.
Choose wisely.

Release any self doubt,
You may have created for
Yourself in an attempt to
Be brave.

Stop trying to be someone
You're not, no one got anywhere
They wanted to be by constantly
Trying to save face.

Who cares what anyone
Else thinks about you?
You know who You are.

Of all the things you've achieved so far,
And how you never gave up when times
Got tough.

Should you forget it every
Now and again -

I am always here to remind you
when you need it most, that 
You Are Enough.

Release everything You once
Had, stored deep down in your
Mind.

Take a breath and release
It into the Sky, let it all go with
Confidence.

Your beauty decorated by fabulous
Freedom once forgotten,
Disguised as Hundreds of butterflies.
Stretching their wings, before
Taking flight. 

When you finally take a
Moment to give everything
That you've been carrying,
Back to the Sky.

You will realise all the endless opportunities
With new eyes, that come with this Beautiful Life.
