Shaken, broken I felt so lost The light was fading and so was I
Poetry for people who could use a little kindness
Shaken, broken I felt so lost The light was fading and so was I
When an old toy breaks Even one I haven’t seen in years it feels like a part of me broke along with it
When you smile your whole face takes part so I know that it’s real And you’re truly happy
People made you feel like they were more important than you They talked over you, cut you off as though no one wanted to listen to you
You shared your light with someone special But they made you feel oh so terrible The support and love that you always bring so many people decided they didn’t need Now you’re here, sad and afraid Wishing so badly that they’d all stayed I can’t understand why people pushed you away I know it hurt you, but anyway I guess that means there’s more of you for me
When you have dreams keep reaching for them Let no one else decide what path you take
You always look beautiful The way you dress, the way you are without even trying you always raise the bar
Time moves forward always ticking away and with it, the world changes little by little every day
It’s not the words we say it’s that we’re now talking Before this, I was crawling But I’ve stood up and started walking
A little kindness can go a long way just a few nice words can make someone’s day
