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

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

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

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
