Sometimes someone else needs to believe in you
Before you can believe in yourself
They tell you what they think you are capable of
And you chuckle inside because you do not see it
But they stand in front of you holding up the mirror
Not letting you give up
And not giving up on you
All you can do is put one foot in front of the other
Following their lead
You feel like you are struggling to keep up
But you keep driving yourself forward
You want to make them proud
You want to show them
That you can do what they think you can
And so you continue to push
Somehow on your own you find your strength
And you don't give up
One foot in front of the other
Staying present in the moment
You dig deep down inside
And you keep on going
Slowly you realize you are doing it
Somehow, someway
You can finally see what they saw in you
And you cling to it
Stepping forward with more confidence and grace
You had it in you this whole time
You just needed someone to help you unearth it
You are so much stronger than you ever thought you were
You know that now
You feel it
Because they believed in you
You now believe in you
And that is a powerful feeling
