For yourself

Loss is grief

And grief is painful

It makes you learn 

Just what you're made of.

You might grow 

And you will change

And your whole life could rearrange.

But in the end

You must decide

Is it enough to just survive

Or will you allow yourself to thrive?

They could laugh

And they might cry...

Well, it's not on them 

To save your life. 

You may betray

You could forgive

It's for yourself 

That you must live.
