(For Bea)
You bark when you're happy With the cutest smile I've ever seen You're an odd one and I love it
The pure joy I see in you talking about all sorts of things You're a passionate one and I love it
Even when you know what you want I still have to pry it out of you You're a stubborn one and I love it
The love in your eyes when you're looking at me You're a me one and I love you
Teardrops Born of overwhelming joy As the real me emerges
A sunny smile Gazing at a girl's hand tipped in sparkling blue
I never imagined That I could possess the beauty that I see in the mirror
My heart is bursting I'm consumed by love for the girl I've become
The girl I was always meant to be
If you don't speak no one can know what's on your mind how you're feeling what you need right now
If you never take up space no one can know the wonderful things you do all those sparkling dreams you dream who you really are
If you always run away you will never know all the joy of staying the love and warmth of others the feeling of belonging
Please speak up; I want to know your heart Please take up space; I want to know your mind Please don't run away; I want you in my life Please let me know you; I want the chance to love you
I fell to pieces Crushed under the weight of life
I didn't know what to do Lost Scared Alone
I wanted to end it all to give up to bleed my life away
But I am still here
I didn't carry on for anyone else to finish some project for the sake of responsibility
I am here
for ME
I am growing and I won't give up on that I am finally me And I will live to be me
I am beautiful and bright I am Sky Starlight
And I am still here

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
I love to smile at the pretty girl smiling back at me
Her hair is bright and fluffy Creeping down along her cheek
Her brown eyes gateways into her kind soul Bright and beautiful Just like her
And that smile She's not used to it yet Feeling genuine happiness coming from her and no one else
I love to smile at the pretty girl smiling back at me from behind the mirror
You taught me How to step back and breathe How to love unconditionally How to take breaks
You were there When I missed the bus When my son was born When something in my house broke
You accepted me Through every shortcoming Through every breakdown Through every change
You are My support My friend My dad
A warm hug A hand to hold A bright smile A soul full of love
These were foreign to me Trapped in other people's worlds So I pursued them At the cost of myself
But the truth is I have those things too And I will always be with me So I can be my own affection
It's late and my feelings are running wild I can't control them anymore It's time to brush my teeth and go to bed
I'll be better in the morning, but now all those horrible thoughts are loose the ones I struggle to keep at bay all the time I need to brush my teeth and go to bed
You can ask me how I'm doing but you won't like the answer so instead, I gonna go to my room It'll be better once I brush my teeth and go to bed
I know it's scary It's even worse inside my head but tomorrow is a bright new day So I'm gonna brush my teeth and go to bed
I got my nails done They're bright and sparkly now And it makes me happy So that's what I did
I got my hair dyed Now it's colorful And growing just how I want it So that's what I did
I shaved my legs Now they're soft and smooth And it brings a smile to my face So that's what I did
No more doing what other people want for the sake of pleasing them I'm doing what I want
Yes That's what I'll do
