It’s hard to be you to be honest, be true when people want you to change when they only see you as strange

It’s okay to be weak You’re allowed a break Sometimes life is too much to take

Even on the days when the people you love aren’t there Know that wherever they are they all still care

Even when in darkness it’s always possible to say “It’s gonna be alright” and look forward to better days

Sometimes you have to walk through miles of darkness before you reach the light

Mistakes are inevitable You can’t avoid or escape them They are the foundation of your growth You are a flower, they are your stem

I wish you could feel about yourself the way I feel about you You’d always smile, because you’d see the joy you spread all around

Today was miserable Awful, horrible Everything went wrong It was the worst of days

Even when I feel scared or the many times I feel unprepared I want to open up, I want you to see The person I am, the real me

There will always be people who want you to be something different Something that you are not Something that you don’t want to be
