      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know you can&#39;t hear me
But I want to tell you
What lies ahead
For us</p>

<p>People won&#39;t understand you
They&#39;ll label you as troublesome
They&#39;ll keep telling you to try harder
They&#39;ll make you angry
because they think it&#39;s funny</p>

<p>They&#39;ll cast you out
And drift away
And you will feel like there&#39;s nowhere
that you can belong</p>

<p>You&#39;ll twist yourself into a bizarre shape
Not you, not anyone
A perversion of what you think others want
Never quite what you want to be</p>

<p>You&#39;re going to get tricked and betrayed
Hurt and abused
You&#39;ll end up feeling so hopelessly alone
You&#39;re going to want to give up so many times
Before you finally see what you&#39;ve been missing</p>

<p>You&#39;re going to find the person inside you
That you will love with all your heart
A person you will proudly show on your outside
every day, without reservation</p>

<p>You will embrace what you love
Your interests, your passions
And find the people that accept them
That accept you</p>

<p>It&#39;s going to take a lot of pain
A lot of loss, a lot of heartbreak
But one day, you will know acceptance
You will know belonging</p>

<p>You will hear your voice and love it
You will see the real you in the mirror
And finally be able to say
without reservation or doubt</p>

<p>I love you
My Beautiful Sky</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I fell to pieces
Crushed
under the weight
of life</p>

<p>I didn&#39;t know
what to do
Lost
Scared
Alone</p>

<p>I wanted
to end it all
to give up
to bleed
   my life
       away</p>

<p>But I am still here</p>

<p>I didn&#39;t carry on
for anyone else
to finish some project
for the sake of responsibility</p>

<p>I am here</p>

<p>              for ME</p>

<p>I am growing
and I won&#39;t give up on that
I am finally me
And I will live to be me</p>

<p>I am beautiful and bright
I am Sky Starlight</p>

<p>And I am still here</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the moment I held you
I loved you with all my heart
I promised that I&#39;d do my best
Even though I was so lost</p>

<p>Days turned into years
You changed so fast
The little boy I knew
Has grown into a young man</p>

<p>We may argue and yell
We so rarely agree
But that will never change
how much I love you</p>

<p>I see the best and worst of you
Holding you always in my heart
No matter how you change
I&#39;ll always love you, my baby boy</p>

<p>Now you&#39;re leaving me
Seeking a life you can&#39;t have here
It breaks my heart to see you go
But I know deep down, this is for the best</p>

<p>Thinking of what&#39;s best for you
Even when it doesn&#39;t include me
Rips out my heart
But that&#39;s what it means to be a parent</p>

<p>I&#39;ll always be there for you
I promise that now and forever
I know this won&#39;t be goodbye
Just the start of a new chapter</p>

<p>I hope this journey helps you grow
I hope you find what you&#39;re looking for
Know that I&#39;ll be here waiting for you
And loving you always, my baby boy</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Love
It came and went
but the love I have
for me
will never fade

Loss
A beautiful soul
taken away by life
His memory
will never fade</p>

<p>Sky
That&#39;s me
That&#39;s who I was always
meant to be
and that will never fade</p>

<p>Year
Another one has passed
I&#39;ve loved and lost
But in the end
I am me</p>

<p>I am Sky</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’ll take days, months, years
To search and discover who you are
You may find out in your backyard
Or you may have to travel quite far

When you finally figure it out
Many people may disagree
They’ll tell you that you’re wrong
That that isn’t who you’re supposed to be</p>

<p>But no one else in the whole world
Has exactly your life or your voice
Other people don’t know the real you
The person you are isn’t their choice</p>

<p>Always remember that you are beautiful
one in a million, a golden star
so please don’t let anyone stop you
from being who you really are</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I was asked to care for you
I didn&#39;t think I&#39;d be able to
I had a lot going on
But I still couldn&#39;t say no</p>

<p>You were excited or sleeping
There was no in between
Even when your energy was too much
I still couldn&#39;t say no</p>

<p>For the innumerable times when you were there
Exactly when I needed a friend
Cuddling me when I was sad or sick
I&#39;m so glad I said yes</p>

<p>Even though you&#39;re gone
And there&#39;s a hole in my life
I look back on our time with love and joy
Forever grateful that I said yes</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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

But some people will hold them against you
Cling to them, grip tightly, fixate
All they see is that one action
To them, you will always be that mistake</p>

<p>But one mistake does not define you
That isn’t who you are
You’ve changed so much since then
You’ve come so very far</p>

<p>It may be hard, but I hope you know
That the past is not a cage to trap you inside
but a pedestal on which to stand
as you reach for your future bright</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This label I was handed
left me alone and stranded
because it doesn’t fit the real me
this isn’t what I want to be

Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry
Sometimes I raise my hand and ask why
I can admit that sometimes I don’t know
But I can still let myself sparkle and glow</p>

<p>I hope you can understand
That I’m a person, not a woman or a man
I’m nothing like what society
wants or expects me to be</p>

<p>I’ll toss that label aside
And look inside and outside
And find the label that fits me
And be who I’m meant to be</p>

<p>I hope one day soon, truly
That you will stand up and join me</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You think there’s so much wrong with you
That no one could possibly accept the real you
So you bury it all deep down below
Where no one will ever be able to go
But despite everything “wrong”, you can still sparkle
Because you see, all of this is completely normal

I too complain that it’s all unfair
and get crushed under the weight of despair
It’s okay to admit you have flaws
Because really, don’t we all?
Don’t let others decide your worth
Don’t let their hatred be your curse</p>

<p>Don’t worry about your scars
Be proud of who you are
I know you think you’re a mess
But I think you’re the best
It may be hard for you to love you
But I see your beauty shining through</p>
