Poetry

Look at this I worked so hard on it Even though it's not perfect It's amazing

See how it shines right there? That took two weeks See the way it spins and goes? That took three months

I worked and struggled and cried There were a lot of times I wanted to quit But in the end, I made it work Me

I'm good at this I'm proud of myself And you know what? That's okay

It's okay to boast and brag It's okay to show off a little bit After all, I worked really hard so today

I'm gonna take some time to appreciate myself

I don't need you to tell me I'm pretty I know I am But it helps to hear it

I don't need you to tell me you love me I already love me But more love can't hurt

I don't need you to tell me I'm a girl I already am one But sometimes it's hard

I don't need validation I'm learning how to validate myself Even though it's tough But I'm going to keep trying

Because I know that

I am a lovely, pretty girl

It's been a year since I last held you Since I last saw your smile Since I last felt your joy

I still think of you How you were always happy How you thought you were bigger than everyone else How you always took care of me

I can see your ghost When I come home to quiet When I wake up to no one there When I lie down and no one runs over to me

One year later I still cry for you I still love you I still miss you

I've been abused tricked betrayed abandoned ostracized hurt

This is how trauma is made No matter what anyone else says

I have trauma

I don't ask for pity or admiration I'm already taking care of myself

For you see Despite my trauma

I am still beautiful I am still worthy I am still enough I am still sparkling

Have you ever looked at the stars in the sky and wondered what's up there moving and zooming about?

Have you ever looked at the knots on a tree and wondered if creatures could be nestled among them?

Have you ever looked at the blades of grass in a field and wondered what civilizations could be calling them home?

Have you ever looked into what we call reality and dared to dream of what could be?

I need words Full of love and praise

I need time To laugh To cry To talk To be heard

I need affection The warm touch Of one I love

These are my needs It's valid to express them And they are important

Little mousegirl Alone in a big world searching for someone to hold

Scared mousegirl Monsters all around never knowing who to trust

Sad mousegirl Hurt by the monsters She's curled up crying her tears

Lonely mousegirl Cut off from the world kept locked up by her own fear

Kind mousegirl Always trusting no matter how many times she gets hurt

Happy mousegirl She found the good The warm, loving people with whom she belongs

When I reach the end of a long day I can lay down and rest

I don't need to earn it I only need to be tired to allow myself to rest

I don't need to push myself beyond my limits I can simply lay my head down and rest

I won't forget that I always need my rest

My body was made producing the wrong chemicals poisoning the person I am

This isn't a choice The choice was to put the correct chemicals in my body to make me the person I am

There's nothing wrong I'm just different I am beautiful I can see that now I can love the person I am

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
