Hug Yourself

[FixXxer]

I know it sounds cheesy, but it's really easy.. give yourself a hug.
You know the care, you want to share... give yourself love.
Put your arms over your shoulders, just a little hold here.
Give a loving squeeze, and let your doubts release.

One day when I was feeling down,
and no one was around..
My voice didn't want to make a sound...

Heard this silly idea, to hug yourself
Heard it could really free ya, to love yourself

Didn't believe I would receive any energy...
I guess I'm used to being my enemy..
I sighed heavily, and tried anyway.

A few seconds passed by..
I felt my insides become untied.
Naturally I began to cry..
I felt supported from outside...
But it was me, no lie..
Genuine, with no disguise..
Tears pourin from my eyes...
Here without judgement, loving my life.

I don't know what I did expect,
I just wanted to check, what effects it could correct..
It helped me to connect, to me..
Couldn't believe, that I felt so less sateful
Grateful for my touch, I picked myself up
Reminded myself that someone always gives a fuck

I know it sounds cheesy, but its really easy.. give yourself a hug.
You best know the care, you want to share... give yourself love.
put your arms over your shoulders... just a little hold here.
Give a yourself loving squeeze, and let all of your doubts release

You know what you've been through.
You know the wounds you need to tend to,
You know your realities and your sensitivities..
You know what you're saying,
You don't need to explain, it exists in your brain
You don't need to open the pain.
Just to tell yourself "it's okay"
I know this sounds lame, but maybe try it just the same
Is it really the worst thing?

I know it sounds cheesy, but its really easy.. give yourself a hug.
You best know the care, you need to share... give yourself love.
Put your arms over your shoulders... just a little hold here.
Give a yourself loving squeeze, and let all of your doubts release
Help yourself feel inner peace.

The most difficult knowledge I've ever possessed was knowing exactly what I needed to do... because I was scared to do it.

The most difficult knowledge I've ever possessed was knowing exactly what I needed to do... because I was scared to do it.

i feel this heavily.. scared of potential, good or bad.. for some reason..

stuck in my head, yet having trouble believing what i feel i can do could ever come true,
the sheer happiness that it brings fills me with so much emotion that its scary to embrace,
and difficult to taste, without having tears of happiness run down my face..
not even a real scenario, but for some reason its scary yo
do i have an inflated ego? how do we know?
how i do i know if im great, afraid to see the answer to me fate..
cant speak, my voice breaks, my hands shake... my heart aches..
not sure i can handle being brought down any more pegs
can already only stand one on of my legs
literally, and metaphorically.
tho i suppose historically,
that sort of pain makes the some of best artists,
i dont want to appear either weak or heartless
maybe i need a guitarist
