Seven Times You Rise
Abismo Cavado e Medicado
I fell seven times I counted each one
Not because I'm weak but because I'm human
Falling isn't the end it's part of the Moon
That disappears and returns nothing is in vain
Addiction wears the face of a caregiver
But the embrace it offers slowly suffocates you
It feels like relief it feels like a way out
But it's the anchor that keeps you from swimming
There's no weakness in asking for help
There's courage in looking inward and seeing
What no longer serves you what's a hindrance
And having the discipline to let go and start over
What doesn't control you shouldn't cost you your peace
What does control you demands action now
Not tomorrow not when it's gone too far
Now while tomorrow hasn't anchored you yet
Seven times you fell
Seven times you rise
Not because it's easy because it's necessary
The chains that bind you aren't solid
They're habit and habit, too, is temporary
Taking care of yourself isn't a luxury it's the bare minimum
It's what's left when everything's adrift
Self-care isn't a timid path
It's the deepest root the one that still survives
Impermanence isn't a punishment
It's what ensures that pain doesn't last forever
The same thing that dissolves its foundation
Also dissolves the weight that holds you back
What you can't control shouldn't cost you your peace
What you can control demands your action now
Not tomorrow not when it's too late
Now while tomorrow still doesn't anchor you
Seven times you fell
Seven times you rise again
Not because it's easy because it's necessary
The chains that bind you aren't solid
They're habit and habit, too, is temporary
Resist
Resist
Resist
Not for glory not for applause
Resist because you're unique
You can live your own life
And that is reason enough
The middle path isn't easy
It's not surrender it's not excess
It's the point where you're in control of what you do
No guilt no excuses no turning back
Seven times you fell
Seven times you rise
Not because it's easy because it's necessary
The chains that bind you aren't solid
They're habit and habit, too, is temporary
Seven times
Seven times
You rise
