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

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

New Words

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 10:13:14 +0000

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

Who Needs It the Most

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

Keep Going

Mon, 30 Oct 2023 10:00:00 +0000

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 You may tear yourself apart Thinking life will never get better That this is all there is This dark and dreary weather

But there is more, believe me The sea will once again grow calm Push through, find the strength to stand And the rain will wash away your qualms

It’s true that in the middle of the storm you can’t always see the light But that doesn’t mean it will never be there Keep going; everything’s gonna be alright

It’s Okay to Be Weak

Mon, 02 Oct 2023 10:00:00 +0000

It’s okay to be weak You’re allowed a break Sometimes life is too much to take You shouldn’t feel ashamed if you aren’t strong enough today even if you’ve been hiding for days that’s alright, that’s okay

It’s important to know your own limitations Ignorance can lead to pain so set your expectations

Keep working at it every day, a little more because it’s true that you are worth caring for

You Are You

Thu, 07 Sep 2023 10:00:00 +0000

You can live your whole life without making it into a single history book And that's okay You don't have to be famous You don't need the world to love you You make a difference Simply by being

You are not a cog in a machine You are not a worker in a hive You are not replaceable or interchangeable You are you

That's all you need to be You are special just by existing Live your life like you are And always, always

Take care of yourself

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

Don’t Hide

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Some days I sink down Pulled down by dark thoughts Suffocating, drowning in a pit of black tar But the world doesn’t want to know They expect all of us to smile Blissfully ignorant of the struggles Going on all around them

They use words like “burden” “attention-seeking”, “drama queen” To make us hide ourselves and our problems Because they don’t understand

They don’t want to see the darkness But the darkness is just as important as the light

So please don’t hide yourself from me I’m struggling too, so I understand I know how hard it is, but I also know that we don’t have to do this alone

How Healing Goes

Mon, 12 Jun 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Injury invisible to others hindering your ability to be who you were Fury as you try to continue only to realize that everything’s different

Please try to understand that this is normal this is how healing goes

Some days you will want to quit Others, you will feel like you did nothing at all

But if you keep going you will get there You will get better You will heal
