The way we understand true power is misguided at best
So with conviction and love I will give You the rest
True power is telling the truth when You are afraid of the consequences
It’s getting back up and loving someone after losing the one You held dearest
It’s getting cheated on and going out there looking for someone to trust
True power is loving without needing someone to love You back
It’s about being humble when achieving all of the above
It’s about love
It’s having the courage to put Yourself out there in the face of rejection
It’s about vulnerability
It’s admitting You’ve made mistakes when it’s so hard to do so
It’s knowing Your true self when someone else tells You otherwise
It’s about letting go and I know how hard it is to do so
Above all it’s about each other, finding an open heart in the darkness
Finding the capacity to keep it so, in the high and low
And now I must go as I bask in this glow
For I trust Your heart is where these words will flow
With love and sadness,
Ian Altosaar
