sharing my light
has always been easy
carrying others
smiling and supporting
crafting just the right words
to brighten their hard days
i give and i give
and never ask
for anything at all
they take and take
never offering anything
when i have nothing left
i explode
burst into a fireball
of anxiety and pain
hurting everyone close to me
why
why do i do this?
i get so lost
in the joy of helping
that i forget
the most important thing
I have to help ME
I deserve love too

From the moment I held you
I loved you with all my heart
I promised that I'd do my best
Even though I was so lost
Days turned into years
You changed so fast
The little boy I knew
Has grown into a young man
We may argue and yell
We so rarely agree
But that will never change
how much I love you
I see the best and worst of you
Holding you always in my heart
No matter how you change
I'll always love you, my baby boy
Now you're leaving me
Seeking a life you can't have here
It breaks my heart to see you go
But I know deep down, this is for the best
Thinking of what's best for you
Even when it doesn't include me
Rips out my heart
But that's what it means to be a parent
I'll always be there for you
I promise that now and forever
I know this won't be goodbye
Just the start of a new chapter
I hope this journey helps you grow
I hope you find what you're looking for
Know that I'll be here waiting for you
And loving you always, my baby boy

We can hear them laughing
For me, it was a lifetime ago
For you, it's happening right now

There are
no actions you can take
no choices you can make
no words you can say
no games you can play
That will invalidate how you feel
Even if you think you blew it
I won't give up, we can work through it
Give me time, give me space
Then let us talk face to face
And I will listen to how you feel
Your feelings are valid and important
I know how easy it is to forget it
I hope in time you come to see
How special you are to me
I care about you and how you feel

When I cry
I don't need you to fix it
I don't need to be told what to do
I don't need someone to make it about them

When I began
I was terrified
The path was unknown
What if everyone rejects me?
What if I end up all alone?
What if this is all in my head?
What if I'm wrong?
Every step was scary
Every step revealed a new challenge
Companions vanished
Replaced by new ones
Instability was the only constant
One step at a time
I've made it this far
I'm not carefully treading now
I'm running
Thrilled to see what lies ahead
This is what I want
This is who I am

Lights out
Dark with a chill
Animals are asleep
No cars on the road

I gazed into the mirror
And realized one day
That my inside and outside
Looked nothing alike
I've chipped away at it
Piece by piece
As if assembling a puzzle
Of who I really am
I've assembled the puzzle
To reveal my inside on the outside
And with each piece, I see me
More clearly than before
Now I can see my style
And my heart is shining with joy
Because I love who I am
Inside and outside
