In the worst of times you helped me to smile Even when I held pain inside I could forget it for a while

You tried so hard to find something That describes who and what you are But that’s not how life works, not really You might as well try to count every star

It’s so easy to hide the best parts of yourself because you’re convinced that no one will understand

(For Helana)

You have a voice that has something special to say I hope you stand up and speak If not now, then someday

I’m sorry if what I said didn’t make sense or even if you might’ve taken offense I’m sorry if I assumed incorrectly or if you think I tried to hurt you directly I’m sorry I can’t be what you want me to be But I’m not sorry for being me

There’s so much about me to know All of it, I’m willing to show But you aren’t going to take the time to look Only flip through your outdated book

Don’t let them get you down Rise up and stand tall Hold your head high And you’ll show them all

When you’re yourself, that’s the best You don’t have to be like the rest To yourself, be true And be you, be you
