Even on the bad days
when I'm struggling to go on
I can still try my best
to keep carrying on
It's tough to push through it
to reach for my dreams
but I can still keep going
what else is there to do?
Sure, I might fail
I might end up going backwards
but other days, if I'm lucky
I'll find just the right words
I can make a difference
I can keep moving on
Above all else
I can still try

My demons are many
Anxiety
Depression
Dysphoria
But the biggest one of all
the one that haunts my every moment
Trauma
Every cut
Every bruise
Every slammed door
Every hateful scream
Every venomous jab
I remember them all
Trauma won't let me forget
But I need to move on
Keep moving forward
I know it will heal with time
The nightmares aren't real
It's gonna be
okay
Just keep moving forward
One day at a time

It's hard to accept
that the body I want
is still a long way off
That my transformation
is far from complete
Every day, I struggle
feeling disgusted
as though my body is covered
in a foul smelling slime
that I can never wash away
But I carry on
finding joy in every new day
always looking to a future
when I don't fees this way anymore
when I finally feel like me
One day
I will have a body
in which I'm comfortable
One day
I will smile
at my reflection
One day
I won't shudder
when I think of myself
One day
One day

There are people that want
to take my right to live
to erase people like me
to force me to live in misery
I know they aren't all evil
But they don't want to understand me
And they do want to control me
So how can I trust them?
Especially when
They bully me into compliance
Threaten me into hiding
Force me to follow their rules
But one thing they will never do
is make me give up
I refuse
No matter what else they take from me
they will never take my hope
my will to fight
I refuse
When they try to smother me
I will scream out louder
When they try to keep me down
I will rise up stronger
When they try to break my spirit
I will refuse to give up

Mirror, Mirror, what do I see?
My own self-loathing reflected back at me
I've changed so much, and yet
all I do is look in you and fret
My face isn't the same at all
I'm even learning how to walk tall
but I can only see what I believe:
this self-doubt that never wants to leave
So I'll repeat day after day
the affirmations I've learned to say
in the hopes that I'll make it real
that it will become the way I feel
I'll cast away these feelings blue
the feelings, Mirror, Mirror, I can't hide from you

I took a hit
and at first
I needed to stay down
to recover
I stayed curled up
crying from the pain
but my tears have stopped
even if the pain hasn't
I can get back up
struggling to stand
and look the enemy in the eye
so they know I won't stay down forever
What everyone needs to understand
is that I'm fighting for my dreams
sometimes, I need to stay down
but I will always get back up
Because I will never give up

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

We were built differently
We work in ways
that so many don't understand
So they called us names
Weird
Creepy Disgusting
Wrong Broken
Burden
They said those words
Over and over and over
Until we believed them
We started calling ourselves that
But they're wrong
We are not broken
We are not burdens
No, we are
Kind Trusting
Loving Silly
Beautiful Special
Different
If they can keep saying
all those mean words
Then why can't we say
all those kind words?
Let's use new words
to describe who we really are
And keep using them over and over again
until we believe them

Sometimes
Life hits HARD
too fast to react too strong to take too much to bear and I have to stop and rest
When I do
I realize I wasn't ready
Life was worse
than I thought it'd be
It's so easy
to become jaded
to assume
Life will always be
this bad
Sometimes
Life surprises me
it's soft and calming, gentle and kind, warm and loving
Life is looking out for me
I realize
Life was better
than I thought it'd be
It's so hard
to take Life
one day at a time
But I still have
those moments of kindness
to remind me
That Life isn't always as bad
As I thought it'd be

I'm afraid of the storm clouds
The chaos
The darkness
The uncertainty
But for the sake of the sun
Her light
Her love
Her hope
I won't let that fear
Stop me
