Walking everywhere with a rain cloud overhead Struggling everyday just to get out of bed

Injury invisible to others hindering your ability to be who you were

(For Denali)

After every sigh, between every kiss I want you to always remember this The love in my eyes is all for you It’s real and it’s honest and it’s true

(For Denali, my honey bee)

On a night like any other filled with chaos, anxiety and fear I heard your beautiful voice and those stormy skies began to clear

Cast aside again and again and again and every single time you felt like nothing

Everything was beautiful Bright, happy, colorful Full of sparkling, magical wonder I started to smile again Thought that maybe I could fit in And the joy would chase away the thunder Gone were the storms I’d known for so long And I believed with my whole being that I could belong

I know how you feel that your problems are a burden and that you can’t ask that anyone else share them

I love the way you walk the way you move the way your emotions speak through you

I believed that I was rotten vile, so easily forgotten An evil creature right to the inside Made to be tossed aside It’s so easy to see that no one wants to be around me Broken, disgusting, creepy that’s how I learned to see me But maybe there is something more Maybe I can leap into the sky and soar

Cracked and broken You fell to pieces While the storm inside Never ceases
