      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This journey has been so long
It&#39;s thrown twists and turns at me
I thought I was near the end
but when I got through the weeds
I found another path stretching ahead of me</p>

<p>I chose this path
I didn&#39;t know it&#39;d be this long
but I can&#39;t turn around now
so all I can do is take it
one step at a time</p>

<p>Step by step
Day by day
I&#39;ll reach the end of this path
The sky seems dark now
but soon, it&#39;ll clear up</p>

<p>And the best part
is that I&#39;m not walking alone
there are so many people
walking alongside me
holding my hand
so I don&#39;t need to be scared</p>

<p>So step by step
day by day
and hand in hand
I&#39;ll keep walking this path
until it opens up
to bright, blue skies</p>

I am hungry
My food dish is not full
Fill it so I may eat</p>

<p>Thank you, Human</p>

<p>Human
I am thirsty
My tiny fountain is not sufficient
Turn on the big one so I may drink</p>

<p>Thank you, Human</p>

<p>Human
You are dirty
I do not care about your cleaning rituals
Hold still so I may clean you</p>

<p>Thank you, Human</p>

<p>Human
You are sad
I will lay on you until you feel better
Stay there so I may take care of you</p>

<p>Thank you, Human</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Inspired by Weathering With You</em></p>

<p>Life is rain
Always gray clouds
So bleak and miserable
You can&#39;t enjoy it like this
But don&#39;t worry
I&#39;ll bring out the sunshine</p>

<p>I&#39;ll fold my hands
Hope for a brighter day
Close my eyes and dream
I&#39;ll give it my all
to be your sunshine girl</p>

<p>I&#39;m glad to hear you&#39;re better
Even if life&#39;s still a struggle
I hope you know
how clever you are
Helping me to see
that we can bring out the sunshine</p>

<p>I&#39;ll fold my hands
show people a brighter day
Close my eyes and dream
Give it all to them
so I can be their sunshine girl</p>

<p>I&#39;m fading, but it&#39;s okay
I can make a brighter world
Where the sun shines all the time
So don&#39;t cry, live your life
And I&#39;ll give up mine
so everyone can bask in the sunshine</p>

<p>I&#39;ll fold my hands
Let myself fade away
Close my eyes and dream
Then the rain will finally stop
and I&#39;ll be your sunshine girl</p>

<p>One last time
let me be
your sunshine girl</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I want to be kind
to offer others a hand
without fear
that they&#39;re using me</p>

<p>I want to be vulnerable
to let others know they&#39;re not alone
without worrying
that others will use it against me</p>

<p>I want to be at peace
unafraid of the world around me
not wondering
who it&#39;s safe to trust</p>

<p>This world doesn&#39;t exist yet
but maybe one day, it will</p>

<p>One day
    We&#39;ll all love one another
    Share kindness without fear
    or attempting to gain something</p>

<p>One day
    We&#39;ll all trust one another
    feel safe together
    and know it&#39;s gonna be okay</p>

<p>One day, we&#39;ll get there</p>

<p>One day</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I was feeling sad
isolated and alone
I sat down with you
to run across the stars</p>

<p>When I thought
that life was too much
I cried with you
and chose to carry on</p>

<p>When I was lost
with no idea what to do
I traveled with you
and you told me I was special</p>

<p>All those times
after all those years
there was a lot I needed
but most of all</p>

<p>I needed a Doctor</p>

      <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 was a broken toy
Cast aside by so many people
Whenever they&#39;d pick me up,
I&#39;d smile and hope they&#39;d accept me
But they never did</p>

<p>Over time, I learned
that I was no good to anyone
No one wanted me
I could only look forward
to being thrown away</p>

<p>Then one day, you came along
Picked me up and looked me over
And said,
“She&#39;s not broken,
She just needs a little love.”</p>

<p>You took me home
You cared for me and loved me
And showed me that I wasn&#39;t broken
That all those other people were wrong
I did just need a little love</p>

<p>It might be a long time
before I really believe it
but we&#39;ve got plenty of time
So thank you for giving me
A little love</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A small smile
can make all the difference</p>

<p>That tiny ray of light
might not seem like much
to a world full of sunshine
but to a world shrouded in shadow
it means everything</p>

<p>Just a small smile</p>

<p>There&#39;s no way to tell
who needs a smile
so why not give them
to everyone?</p>

<p>Just a simple smile</p>

<p>So let&#39;s hand them out
to everyone we see
and make the world
a brighter place</p>
