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
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

One Year Ago
I found myself at my lowest point Barely keeping my head above water My brain screaming to give up But I held my head up long enough to take out my tools and fix it
It’s easy to focus on all the negatives on the misery on everything that’s missing
I don’t feel beautiful today I can barely get up and move Why bother pretending anymore? What am I trying to prove?
When an old toy breaks Even one I haven’t seen in years it feels like a part of me broke along with it
Dear Friend,
I know tonight you can’t keep it together I can hear you reciting reasons to carry on
Take a moment and tell yourself that you are enough that you love yourself
Dread rakes its claws through my brain Sowing the seeds of doubt Spreading terror through my mind reminding me that I don’t deserve this
Why can’t everyone see how broken I am inside? How terrible I am? The monster behind my eyes
