A warm hug
A hand to hold
A bright smile
A soul full of love
These were foreign to me
Trapped in other people's worlds
So I pursued them
At the cost of myself
But the truth is
I have those things too
And I will always be with me
So I can be my own affection

It's late
and my feelings are running wild
I can't control them anymore
It's time to brush my teeth and go to bed
I'll be better in the morning, but now
all those horrible thoughts are loose
the ones I struggle to keep at bay all the time
I need to brush my teeth and go to bed
You can ask me how I'm doing
but you won't like the answer
so instead, I gonna go to my room
It'll be better once I brush my teeth and go to bed
I know it's scary
It's even worse inside my head
but tomorrow is a bright new day
So I'm gonna brush my teeth and go to bed

I got my nails done
They're bright and sparkly now
And it makes me happy
So that's what I did
I got my hair dyed
Now it's colorful
And growing just how I want it
So that's what I did
I shaved my legs
Now they're soft and smooth
And it brings a smile to my face
So that's what I did
No more
doing what other people want
for the sake of pleasing them
I'm doing what I want
Yes
That's what I'll do

Look at this
I worked so hard on it
Even though it's not perfect
It's amazing
See how it shines right there?
That took two weeks
See the way it spins and goes?
That took three months
I worked and struggled and cried
There were a lot of times I wanted to quit
But in the end, I made it work
Me
I'm good at this
I'm proud of myself
And you know what?
That's okay
It's okay to boast and brag
It's okay to show off a little bit
After all, I worked really hard
so today
I'm gonna take some time
to appreciate myself

I don't need you
to tell me I'm pretty
I know I am
But it helps to hear it
I don't need you
to tell me you love me
I already love me
But more love can't hurt
I don't need you
to tell me I'm a girl
I already am one
But sometimes it's hard
I don't need validation
I'm learning how to validate myself
Even though it's tough
But I'm going to keep trying
Because I know that
I am a lovely, pretty girl

It's been a year
since I last held you
Since I last saw your smile
Since I last felt your joy
I still think of you
How you were always happy
How you thought you were bigger than everyone else
How you always took care of me
I can see your ghost
When I come home to quiet
When I wake up to no one there
When I lie down and no one runs over to me
One year later
I still cry for you
I still love you
I still miss you

I've been
abused tricked
betrayed
abandoned ostracized
hurt
This
is how trauma
is made
No matter what
anyone else says
I have trauma
I don't ask for pity
or admiration
I'm already
taking care of myself
For you see
Despite my trauma
I am still beautiful
I am still worthy
I am still enough
I am still sparkling

Have you ever looked
at the stars in the sky
and wondered what's up there
moving and zooming about?
Have you ever looked
at the knots on a tree
and wondered if creatures
could be nestled among them?
Have you ever looked
at the blades of grass in a field
and wondered what civilizations
could be calling them home?
Have you ever looked
into what we call reality
and dared to dream
of what could be?

I need words
Full
of love
and praise
I need time
To laugh
To cry
To talk
To be heard
I need affection
The warm touch
Of one
I love
These
are my needs
It's valid
to express them
And they
are important

Little mousegirl
Alone in a big world
searching for someone
to hold
Scared mousegirl
Monsters all around
never knowing
who to trust
Sad mousegirl
Hurt by the monsters
She's curled up
crying her tears
Lonely mousegirl
Cut off from the world
kept locked up
by her own fear
Kind mousegirl
Always trusting
no matter how many times
she gets hurt
Happy mousegirl
She found the good
The warm, loving people
with whom she belongs
