The Poet Sky

I believed that I was rotten vile, so easily forgotten An evil creature right to the inside Made to be tossed aside It’s so easy to see that no one wants to be around me Broken, disgusting, creepy that’s how I learned to see me But maybe there is something more Maybe I can leap into the sky and soar

Cracked and broken You fell to pieces While the storm inside Never ceases

(For Denali)

Beautiful and radiant full of love, that’s you Once someone meets you they couldn’t possibly argue

I don’t feel beautiful today I can barely get up and move Why bother pretending anymore? What am I trying to prove?

(For Ryn)

You’re always you With a bright smile and colorful hair you’re one of a kind No one else can compare

You see yourself as an empty, black hole as though “monster” is your only role

(For Matty P)

When the rest of us are lost You help lead us to safety Calm in the face of turmoil Even when we are feeling empty

It’s hard to believe it So much hasn’t gone your way But I know that if you keep trying You are going to be okay

There’s so much love in me and I finally have a chance to share all these feelings inside There are finally people who care

Some friends will judge you Just for being yourself They’ll laugh and scorn And make you doubt yourself
