Universal/internal reminder

Hold your soul close 
The YOU before the corruption 
Before what you chose 
Lead you straight to destruction

Hold your head high 
You've been down for so long
And while you look at the sky
Remember that you're strong 

For you've carried the weight 
Of a thousand regrets 
But not every mistake 
Is a permanent mess.

You're blessed to be alive 
So thank God that you're here 
It means you've survived 
Everything you fear.
