Analysis of Soul at a Glance
You gotta give yourself grace.
Allow the tears to come if they ask to,
To choose you when others refuse to,
To be brave enough to accept the truth
Even if it hurts you.
Vulnerable enough to let it break you,
Strong enough to realize that breaking
Isn't the same as being weak.
