The Lyrics
They say when you grow older, you grow wiser
With trust comes faith in determination
They say a child is born fearless
They're slowly trained to fear the unknown and sometimes even what is known
If I could write to my younger self, I'd tell him you'll be okay
Tell him I promise you this isn't forever.
You're going to grow stronger and wiser
You're going to find people who actually love you, and they will become your family
When thinking of mental health
I think sometimes we forget the children
We forget what they see, what they hear. What they listen to, what they learn. What they live through
If I could write to my younger self, I'd tell him I promise you this isn't going to stay
You're going to grow stronger and wiser
You're going to define people who actually love you, and they will become your family
I didn't have a rainbows and sunshine filled childhood
I grew up in alleys in darkness and fear
I was taught that men are weak
That people should be manipulated
I was taught , we were the only ones worthy
Childhoods can make mental health worse
Childhood survivors always have survivors guilt
We wonder how we did it and what made us survive?
Even now, as a full grown man, I refuse to fully tell my story, it scares me.
It haunts me and it's why I never thought I'd be a father....
I made a vow when I held each of mt children that I would never let them
Go through what I had to go through
Feel what I had to feel
That my children would know they are unconditionally loved
This road I'm down is not an easy one
When it feels like I cannot talk,
cannot speak.
I go to those I've chosen as my family
They remind me of who I am
They have healed my inner child and me as best as we can.
They say blood is thicker than water, but sometimes it's suffocating
If I could write to my younger self
I'd tell him I promise you this isn't going to stay
You're going to grow stronger and wiser
You're going to define people who actually love you, and they; will become your family.
If I could write to my younger self, I would tell him, okay
I wish I could say that it never haunts me
I wish I could say all the wounds are healed
But every time someone mentions mental health
I'm reminded
Of the little boy in the corner
