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

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

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

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

The changes I'm going through are many things

tough unknown stressful exciting good necessary difficult scary

Of all the things that these changes are there is one thing they are very much not

They are not about you

These changes are MINE to make They are what I need They are what is good What is right for me

I don't deserve to be Miserable Crying in the corner Where no one will see

I don't deserve to be Excluded Ignored and left behind Without a thought

I don't deserve to be Alone Cast out and abandoned Time and time again

I deserve Love Warmth Kindness Acceptance Belonging Understanding Better

#Poetry #MyBeautifulSky #SelfCare #NoToxicity #SelfLove

My wants are important They deserve to be heard

My needs are important They deserve to be met

My boundaries are important They deserve to be respected

My feelings are important They deserve to be understood

I am important I deserve to be loved

For such a long time I'd go somewhere I didn't feel comfortable for the sake of others

For such a long time I'd stay when I was tired Pushing myself to be happy for the sake of others

For such a long time I'd burn myself out Never getting what I wanted for the sake of others

Now I listen to and take care of myself I recognized my own limits and say no for the sake of me

#Poetry #SelfLove #Boundaries #SelfCare

How long have I lived for others? How long have I tried to fit in?

I push down my wants and needs I ignore my own feelings I put on a mask so everyone else will accept me

How far back does it go? How long have I been afraid?

I had questions I never asked Feelings I never expressed Options I never explored all so I wouldn't be laughed at

I don't know how long I may never know But I accept myself now So I'm finished pretending

It's time to be me
