Your Better Place
Sometimes you have to walk through miles of darkness before you reach the light
Sometimes you have to walk through miles of darkness before you reach the light
You can live your whole life without making it into a single history book And that's okay
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
(For Lex)
Soft and gentle And oh so beautiful And I get to love you forever
Your mind makes perfect sense Wonderfully neurodivergent I could listen to you forever
I think about you all the time And now I get to call you mine I want to be with you forever
This love for you I feel It's strong and it's real This love is forever
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
(For My Darling Lex)
People called you ugly I don't understand why You're a beautiful, shining rainbow lighting up my sky
Today was miserable Awful, horrible Everything went wrong It was the worst of days
Sometimes You get swallowed by sadness Dragged down by loneliness And that's okay
(For Denali, My Love)
I promise to be there for good times and bad Whether you’re smiling and happy or crying and sad
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
