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

Even if I change myself
exaggerating or muting parts
to be accepted
I have no guarantee
that people won't reject me anyway
So why not be
me?
I will spend my whole life with myself
so it's more important
that I love me
than if other people love me
I'll be myself always
and learn to love all of me
If I've got to spend my whole life with someone
I think it's best
if I love her

When we met
it was all so new
But where I saw fear
You saw hope
You said it'd be okay
that no matter what,
I was loved
And I was glad
I have new friends
Because you told me
it was okay to accept them
To let them help me
I got to know you
I came to love you
And for a time
I got to have a best friend again
Now you're gone forever
And all I've got left
are my memories of you
And the hope you gave me
I'll never forget you
I'll use the lessons you taught me
In your brief time in this world
to help others like you
And in the end
even though I cry every day
I'm GLAD I met you
and I wouldn't change it for the world

This is a boundary
No, I won't explain it
It exists because of trauma
Severe pain
inflicted
time and time again
This is a want
No, I won't explain it
It exists because of me
I've listened
and learned
time and time again
This is a need
No, I won't explain it
It exists because of life
Years lived
Feelings hurt
time and time again
Sometimes, they may shift
Moving as I reassess them
They're mine to have
You are not involved in making them
So you do not need to understand
You need to respect them
Because if you can't respect
my boundaries
my wants
my needs
Then I can't be around you

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

I am hurting
Even if you
can't understand why
Just let me be sad
That's all
I need from you
To let me feel
How I'm going to feel
Don't tell me
about how other people
have it worse than me
Don't lecture me
about being proper
or using my manners
I have these feelings
Let me feel them
Let me cry

Some people
have their act together
easily handling everything
Life throws at them
But you don't know
what's going on
behind the curtains
inside their minds
They might be giving it
their best guess
struggling to keep it together
for everyone else's sake
It's hard to not compare yourself
to other people
But do try to remember
that everyone's human
no one's perfect
and we're all just giving life
Our best guess

All my life
over and over
people have told me
that I'm not important
They ignored what I had to say
Stayed ignorant of my feelings
Refused to understand me
Scolded me for talking about my problems
It wasn't everyone
but it was enough people
to make me feel like
I didn't matter
It's so much easier
to hold it all inside
rather than facing that rejection
from the ones I love
But I must remember
that the people that love me...
Want me to share the things I love
care about how I'm feeling
work hard to understand me
try to help with my problems
They care about me
They love me
And to them
I am important

You made an image
and gave it my name
You tried to capture me
but it wasn't quite right
When you learned this
you got angry
“Why isn't she like this?”
You asked yourself
And you took it out on me
You never loved me
You loved an image of me
That you made up
That's
not
my
fault
I'm kind and snarky
Loving and anxious
Flirty and cuddly
And so much more
That you will never know
Unless you get to know me
instead of that image
In your head
Know all of me
Accept all of me
Love all of me
