I want you to let it go
Don’t keep it in
Blow it out
Hold up your chin
Don’t you pout
I just want to let you know
I can help
But I can’t
You need a hug
Don’t you know
Give your self
To your self
Keep it in
Let it out
Share your grief
To find relief
Find the joy
Release the pain
Don’t be vain
It’s insane
You deserve to protect your self
That’s okay
So say today
I’ll find my self
Say it true
Don’t be blue
Find the colors in your life
Fight the strife
Don’t you die
Don’t you dwell
I just have to say
To you be well
Find the answers
In your heart
Create a solution
Mend it to give
Your self a resolution
Don’t be gray
Be gay
Love your self
Know its true
It’s okay
To feel that way
There’s a rainbow
In the sky
You can find it
If you try…
You can fly!

Taking a general psychology class, the instructor broke and revealed personal issues, and upon introspection of the subject matter, and his discourse, this was inspired.
Interesting notion of the “self”….prior to me ever learning about the “philosophical belief systems” associated with Atman in Hinduism.
