Betrayal

Sometimes we betray ourselves

We tell ourselves things

That just aren't true

We convince ourselves

Of so many things

That it can be hard

To know what the truth about us is anymore

We become so wrapped up in believing

Everything that everyone else says about us

That we can betray ourselves sometimes

We can hurt ourselves

And we can hurt others

When we betray ourselves sometimes

But if we listen to God

And remember who we are

We will understand we are a lot more whole

And a lot more powerful than we can ever imagine

And slowly but surely

We will learn to stop betraying ourselves

And convincing ourselves of things

That just aren't true
