May I lie in your arms
and will you hold me,
will you embrace
the part of me that is afraid
and doesn’t dare to trust,
the part of me that does believe,
the part of me that’s in her strength,
the part of me that feels so helpless,
the part of me that feels
guilty and bad,
that is harsh and judges herself
the part of me that is soft
and self-compassionate
If you hold all parts of me
in the arms of love
I will be whole
