The Poet Sky

I hope everyone tells you that you're a beautiful star shining everywhere you go brightening everyone's day

I hope everyone tells you that you're completely unique there's only one of you in the world and no one can ever replace you

I hope everyone tells you that you're absolutely brilliant no one else thinks like you do and I love to watch your mind work

I hope everyone tells you that you are extraordinary you are so special to me simply by being you

I hope everyone tells you everything I've just said because you see, it's all true and I never want you to forget it

(For Lex)

You can't always see it the beautiful light shining from you lighting up my world when I'm sad and blue

Every second we spend together is a precious gift I'll hold dear as I count down the seconds until you're once again near

You're warm and kind you listen and you care I love to simply sit with you as we both share

I once wrote that I wanted you in my life forever I still stand by that now even after all this time later

I hope you never forget I love you now and always forever and ever until the end of days

I know you can't hear me But I want to tell you What lies ahead For us

People won't understand you They'll label you as troublesome They'll keep telling you to try harder They'll make you angry because they think it's funny

They'll cast you out And drift away And you will feel like there's nowhere that you can belong

You'll twist yourself into a bizarre shape Not you, not anyone A perversion of what you think others want Never quite what you want to be

You're going to get tricked and betrayed Hurt and abused You'll end up feeling so hopelessly alone You're going to want to give up so many times Before you finally see what you've been missing

You're going to find the person inside you That you will love with all your heart A person you will proudly show on your outside every day, without reservation

You will embrace what you love Your interests, your passions And find the people that accept them That accept you

It's going to take a lot of pain A lot of loss, a lot of heartbreak But one day, you will know acceptance You will know belonging

You will hear your voice and love it You will see the real you in the mirror And finally be able to say without reservation or doubt

I love you My Beautiful Sky

Salutations, friend! I had to pause when typing out that year, cos I can't believe we're at the end of 2024 already. Life has been crazy this year. I have so much going on, and there might be some changes coming soon.

I've got four big life things I want to talk about.

(For Jackie)

Every day you pull a new fact out of your head and amaze me with it Is there anything you don't know?

Every time I say “I didn't know that” but you did Is there anything you don't know?

You want to do the right thing So you work hard to know what the right thing is and tell me with all the confidence in the world Is there anything you don't know?

I know something you don't know

Did you know that I feel safe around you?

Did you know that you always look stunning?

Did you know that I love your snarky sense of humor?

I bet you didn't

But you do know the most important thing of all

I love you

(For Dax)

If you told me to run away I'd run for two seconds then turn around and smile at you because I love to look at you

If you told me to escape when you were holding me tight I'd snuggle against you because I love to be held by you

If you told me to ignore you I'd wait patiently for you to talk and pay close attention while you did because I love to listen to you

If you told me you loved me I'd believe you each and every time because I love you too

(For Bea)

You bark when you're happy With the cutest smile I've ever seen You're an odd one and I love it

The pure joy I see in you talking about all sorts of things You're a passionate one and I love it

Even when you know what you want I still have to pry it out of you You're a stubborn one and I love it

The love in your eyes when you're looking at me You're a me one and I love you

#Poetry #MushyLovePoem #Love #Romantic

Teardrops Born of overwhelming joy As the real me emerges

A sunny smile Gazing at a girl's hand tipped in sparkling blue

I never imagined That I could possess the beauty that I see in the mirror

My heart is bursting I'm consumed by love for the girl I've become

The girl I was always meant to be

#Poetry #MyBeautifulSky #SelfLove #Trans

If you don't speak no one can know what's on your mind how you're feeling what you need right now

If you never take up space no one can know the wonderful things you do all those sparkling dreams you dream who you really are

If you always run away you will never know all the joy of staying the love and warmth of others the feeling of belonging

Please speak up; I want to know your heart Please take up space; I want to know your mind Please don't run away; I want you in my life Please let me know you; I want the chance to love you

#Poetry #Love #Insecurity

I fell to pieces Crushed under the weight of life

I didn't know what to do Lost Scared Alone

I wanted to end it all to give up to bleed my life away

But I am still here

I didn't carry on for anyone else to finish some project for the sake of responsibility

I am here

for ME

I am growing and I won't give up on that I am finally me And I will live to be me

I am beautiful and bright I am Sky Starlight

And I am still here
