I Am Still Here

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

I fell to pieces Crushed under the weight of life

I didn't know what to do Lost Scared Alone

I wanted to end it all to give up to bleed my life away

But I am still here

I didn't carry on for anyone else to finish some project for the sake of responsibility

I am here

for ME

I am growing and I won't give up on that I am finally me And I will live to be me

I am beautiful and bright I am Sky Starlight

And I am still here

Little Mousegirl

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

I Am Important

Thu, 05 Sep 2024 10:56:41 +0000

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 Old

Thu, 03 Aug 2023 10:00:00 +0000

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 One Year Ago

My old self dissolved away Turned to ashes as I prepared to be born again, to be renewed growing, changing, becoming more

One Year Past

A year of loss, a year of learning Undergoing metamorphosis to become me Trying, failing, succeeding I know it’s hard, but I can do this

One Year Past

I’ve emerged from my cocoon Spread my beautiful wings Took off into the morning sun I have become the sky

One Year Old

I was reduced to nothing died, and was reborn Now I can be who I’m meant to be Now I can live my true life

My New Life My True Life One Year Old

Focus on the Light

Mon, 01 May 2023 10:00:00 +0000

It’s easy to focus on all the negatives on the misery on everything that’s missing After a time that’s all you see that’s all you know and there’s nothing else

Even when it’s small it appears so large that you can’t fight it not all alone

But that’s not all there is think of happiness and love even if you don’t have a lot every tiny bit helps

Even when your life is full of darkness Try to focus on the light It will help you to move forward into a bright, shining future

I Don’t Fight Alone

Mon, 26 Dec 2022 11:00:00 +0000

I don’t feel beautiful today I can barely get up and move Why bother pretending anymore? What am I trying to prove? It’d be easy to stay here Let myself fade away I can’t deny it anymore I always knew I’d lose some day

But that was when I fought alone Scared, trapped in the dark But I’m not alone anymore I’ve got friends to give me a spark

Some hope to light my way To get me back on my feet Some love to scare off the monsters To save me from the edge of defeat

Now I know the truth I’m not alone in this fight And when I’m with you I know everything’s gonna be alright

No One Can Tell You How to Feel

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 11:00:00 +0000

When an old toy breaks Even one I haven’t seen in years it feels like a part of me broke along with it When a plan doesn’t work Even after I poured my soul into it it feels like I’m crashing to earth from a hundred miles up

When a friend doesn’t show up when I wanted nothing more than to see them it feels like I’m being crushed inside a black hole

It’s okay to feel these things No one can tell you how to feel Don’t be afraid to talk about them Your emotions are special, just like you

Dear Friend

Dear Friend,

I know tonight you can’t keep it together I can hear you reciting reasons to carry on Your pain is all you feel right now The dreams you have all look shattered to you

Choices you made are choking you and you don’t want to bother those that love you

So you suffer with a smile on your face so no one will know and no one will ask

I wish I could make it all better But all I have are my words

So here they are

I love you I would miss you And I truly believe with all of my heart

That you are beautiful So please stay

Sincerely, Everyone who loves you

Take a Moment

Mon, 29 Aug 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Take a moment and tell yourself that you are enough that you love yourself It can be hard the first time You’re so full of doubt and the darkness is so overwhelming that you can’t believe it

But sometimes, you have to there’s no one else to say it and you need to do this yourself you need to walk on your own

So take a moment Smile to yourself Look yourself in the eye and say “I love you”

Good Enough

Mon, 13 Jun 2022 10:00:00 +0000

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 I want to have nice things I want the sunshine and warmth I want peace and comfort But I don’t deserve them

Maybe if I try harder If I’m always perfect kind and considerate to everyone then I’ll earn them

What if I’ve already earned them? What if it’s not about what I deserve? I want to be a good person so I am going to keep trying

And maybe, just maybe That’s good enough
