This journey has been so long It's thrown twists and turns at me I thought I was near the end but when I got through the weeds I found another path stretching ahead of me

I chose this path I didn't know it'd be this long but I can't turn around now so all I can do is take it one step at a time

Step by step Day by day I'll reach the end of this path The sky seems dark now but soon, it'll clear up

And the best part is that I'm not walking alone there are so many people walking alongside me holding my hand so I don't need to be scared

So step by step day by day and hand in hand I'll keep walking this path until it opens up to bright, blue skies

Human I am hungry My food dish is not full Fill it so I may eat

Thank you, Human

Human I am thirsty My tiny fountain is not sufficient Turn on the big one so I may drink

Thank you, Human

Human You are dirty I do not care about your cleaning rituals Hold still so I may clean you

Thank you, Human

Human You are sad I will lay on you until you feel better Stay there so I may take care of you

Thank you, Human

Inspired by Weathering With You

Life is rain Always gray clouds So bleak and miserable You can't enjoy it like this But don't worry I'll bring out the sunshine

I'll fold my hands Hope for a brighter day Close my eyes and dream I'll give it my all to be your sunshine girl

I'm glad to hear you're better Even if life's still a struggle I hope you know how clever you are Helping me to see that we can bring out the sunshine

I'll fold my hands show people a brighter day Close my eyes and dream Give it all to them so I can be their sunshine girl

I'm fading, but it's okay I can make a brighter world Where the sun shines all the time So don't cry, live your life And I'll give up mine so everyone can bask in the sunshine

I'll fold my hands Let myself fade away Close my eyes and dream Then the rain will finally stop and I'll be your sunshine girl

One last time let me be your sunshine girl

#Poetry #Nature #Weather #SelfSacrifice #Kindness

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

#Poetry #Kindness #DoctorWho

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

#Poetry #Love #Kindness

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

#Poetry #MyBeautifulSky #SkysPicks #Belonging #BeingDifferent #Kindness #Loneliness

Get loved feel accepted for who you are without condition

Get adored feel absolutely worshipped for what you love doing without apology

Get cherished feel wanted and needed by the ones you love every single day

I hope you feel like this all the time because even if you struggle to believe it I know with absolute certainty

That you deserve it

#Poetry #Love #Friendship #Kindness

I was a broken toy Cast aside by so many people Whenever they'd pick me up, I'd smile and hope they'd accept me But they never did

Over time, I learned that I was no good to anyone No one wanted me I could only look forward to being thrown away

Then one day, you came along Picked me up and looked me over And said, “She's not broken, She just needs a little love.”

You took me home You cared for me and loved me And showed me that I wasn't broken That all those other people were wrong I did just need a little love

It might be a long time before I really believe it but we've got plenty of time So thank you for giving me A little love

A small smile can make all the difference

That tiny ray of light might not seem like much to a world full of sunshine but to a world shrouded in shadow it means everything

Just a small smile

There's no way to tell who needs a smile so why not give them to everyone?

Just a simple smile

So let's hand them out to everyone we see and make the world a brighter place
