      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This world
doesn&#39;t want people like me</p>

<p>People who were born different
People who were raised differently
People who look and think differently</p>

<p>People like me
People like you
People like us</p>

<p>They try to beat us into place
Convince us that no one wants us
Erase us from the narrative
Hope that everyone forgets about us
Then leave us to deal with the trauma
All on our own</p>

<p>But we are not alone
We are not wrong
Every single person in this world is different in a million different ways
Who are they to say that their ways are right and ours are wrong?</p>

<p>We are different
We are unique
We cannot be silenced
We cannot be erased</p>

<p>Because this is our world</p>

<p>and we will not be forgotten</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can’t always see
the light you wield
How brightly it shines
how far it reaches

You can’t see the people
that bask in its glow
that are healed and helped
that smile at it</p>

<p>You can’t always see
how it changes the lives
of those around you
how it helps those lost in the dark</p>

<p>Even though you can’t see it
the rest of us can
so when you&#39;re down, we can remind you
how brightly you shine</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When the world is dark
closing in with a heart of stone
I want you to remember that I’m here
You are never alone

It doesn’t matter to me
how you see yourself today
The person I see is different
For you, I’m here to stay</p>

<p>There will always be days
when you can’t be what you want to be
But let me tell you something
That doesn’t matter to me</p>

<p>Always remember this
You have nothing to fear
Good days, bad days, ordinary days
Through it all, I will always be here</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#39;m not just here when you&#39;re happy
I do love it when we smile together
When we radiate joy
that soon becomes contagious

I&#39;m not just here for the excitement
It is such a thrill to be with you
When I&#39;m with you
my heart is full to bursting</p>

<p>I&#39;m also here for the bad times
When life won&#39;t cut you a break
When you&#39;re drowning in sorrow
Swept away by a river of tears</p>

<p>Because you see that&#39;s what love is
It&#39;s being there for the good and the bad
And I&#39;m here for you
Not just the good, but all the times</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even on the days
when the people you love aren’t there
Know that wherever they are
they all still care

You may feel all alone
Stranded in the dark, lost and scared
But as much as you’re missing them
they miss you too, because they care</p>

<p>It can be hard to feel it
Insecurity is a heavy burden to bear
But sometimes, people will surprise you
and remind you how much they care</p>

<p>It’s easy to want to change
But please, to yourself be fair
Always be who you really are
Because there are always people who care</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You’re not like them
Maybe you act a bit different
Or you don’t look like everyone else
Or they don’t understand you when you talk

You laugh when everyone else cries
You scream when everyone else laughs
The wrong words slip out
At the worst possible times</p>

<p>I’ve done those things too
We’re not the same as everyone else
But we can find a place together
Just the two of us</p>

<p>One day, they’ll accept us
Because there’s nothing wrong with us
But until they see that,
We can spend our time alone, together</p>
