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

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

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

The ones who are there for EVERYONE are the ones most likely to forget

that the person who needs their love the most is THEM

It’s easy to run away It’s hard to stand up and speak Finding shelter feels safer Even when it makes you feel weak

It’s okay to be weak You’re allowed a break Sometimes life is too much to take

You can live your whole life without making it into a single history book And that's okay

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

Some days I sink down Pulled down by dark thoughts Suffocating, drowning in a pit of black tar
