New Words
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
