Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

A rainbow mouse smiling and waving a transgender pride flag.

Yes, it's true, your favorite rainbow mouse (who will be returning in April) supports trans rights.

If you too support trans rights, feel free to copy that pic around and share it.

If you don't support trans rights, I recommend either changing that or getting off my site immediately.

We don't belong here They don't want us They won't accept us Even though it's all we know

We can keep trying Changing ourselves to fit in But when I do that I suffocate

I want to be me So I'm going to find a place Where I belong Even if I have to make it myself

I'd like it if you were there too The outcasts, the misfits We have our own place somewhere And we'll get there

One day

Mirror, Mirror, what do I see? My own self-loathing reflected back at me I've changed so much, and yet all I do is look in you and fret My face isn't the same at all I'm even learning how to walk tall but I can only see what I believe: this self-doubt that never wants to leave So I'll repeat day after day the affirmations I've learned to say in the hopes that I'll make it real that it will become the way I feel I'll cast away these feelings blue the feelings, Mirror, Mirror, I can't hide from you

I took a hit and at first I needed to stay down to recover

I stayed curled up crying from the pain but my tears have stopped even if the pain hasn't

I can get back up struggling to stand and look the enemy in the eye so they know I won't stay down forever

What everyone needs to understand is that I'm fighting for my dreams sometimes, I need to stay down but I will always get back up

Because I will never give up

Sometimes my brain is sharp on point, focused, dedicated I can take on any problem the world throws at me

Sometimes my brain is stressy scared, overworked, overwhelmed I have to hide inside and recover before I can do anything at all

Sometimes my brain is loopy silly, goofy, unfocused It's gonna be a while before I can function reliably

My brain is different Different moods, different feelings But I'll always remember that however my brain is right now

It's okay to be that way

I want to be kind to offer others a hand without fear that they're using me

I want to be vulnerable to let others know they're not alone without worrying that others will use it against me

I want to be at peace unafraid of the world around me not wondering who it's safe to trust

This world doesn't exist yet but maybe one day, it will

One day We'll all love one another Share kindness without fear or attempting to gain something

One day We'll all trust one another feel safe together and know it's gonna be okay

One day, we'll get there

One day

When I was feeling sad isolated and alone I sat down with you to run across the stars

When I thought that life was too much I cried with you and chose to carry on

When I was lost with no idea what to do I traveled with you and you told me I was special

All those times after all those years there was a lot I needed but most of all

I needed a Doctor

Will this next step make things better? Will it get me closer to my dreams? Will it shatter them? Will it destroy my hope?

I don't know

It's easier to not take it To hold onto the hope instead of risking losing it to clutch it for dear life

I don't know

But what I do know

If I don't take that step my dreams will never come true I'll stay in the same place forever wondering what could've been

Yeah, I'm scared of course I am but my dreams are worth it so I've got to try

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
