I am brave.
I am a risk taker and have risked it all.
I am a thriver.
I am a genius.
I am generous
I am a power player.
I am a winner.
I am a creative thinker.
I am stronger than I feel.
I am more beautiful than I believe.
I am living.
I am breathing.
I am working.
I am smarter than I feel.
I am selfless.
I am a writer, and I will...keep writing

No matter what the world labels me,
I will prevail.
However much people hate me,
I will prevail.
You see, I have a gift.
I can turn sorrows into similes,
I can transform madness into metaphors.
If she is a wench, I turn her into a warrior.
No matter how much I cry,
I will keep going.
However much I want to die,
I will keep going.
To keep living, bears my womb with joy.
I find small moments of love,
In the inconspicuous places.
If triggers of trauma comes, I smile and wave them goodbye.
I have this gift to change the sadness inside of me,
into sweet revelry.
The once chaotic turmoil full of black tar,
into a peaceful moment of mercy.
I have this gift inside of me,
To turn the midnight oil of terrors and anxiety,
into a masterpiece.
I have this gift to change the bad into whole.
Perhaps it is an easy task for some people,
but people I know find it hard to believe,
how a small moment of hope
can be found in the midst of darkness.
How life can be hopeful in faith,
despite the mourning and injustice.
I have this gift you see, and I know I'm not alone.
I am gifted in the many ways the world cannot see.
I am the gift.
and the gift is in me.
Middle school knights and ladies pin
Beatles eight track tape
Brown teddy bear without an arm
Dirty little socks missing its pair
Clearning the garage without you
Fixing the last tilted shelf we built
You and I built it for Mom
My life was your gift when I was young
Love never meant to hurt
Broken boundaries were tough
Hope was supposed to stay
The touch shouldn't harm
Joy was to have within
Living should never have trauma
Faith was to restore my life
Days were unexpectedly tearful
Time was my only friend
My life one step at a time
~ Dedicated to all of the children and young adults I met in my life. You are my bright shining Sun. ~
I'm a good kid
Because I know how to love
I know I care
About me and my heart
I'm a good kid
Because I can smile
When the sun shines bright
Or when the moon hides behind the clouds
I'm a good kid
Because I know I can fly
Even through the storm
And when the sky turns grey up above
I'm a good kid
Because I have courage
To stand, run, and dance
Even when the world will not give me a chance
I'm a good kid
Because I am strong
Even when I am weak
Or when the Earth turns upside down
I'm a good kid
Because I care enough to make it
Although the valleys are deep and wide
I'm a good kid
And I am on my way
To become good people
Because good people laugh
through the cries of sorrow
Because good people hug
to embrace another
Because good people speak
of lovely words with uplifting voices
Because good people live
and keep on breathing, through and through
Because good people are honest
taking lies away further from the truth
Because good people shine
living with pure light inside their minds
I am on my way
To become good people
Taking each step
One at a time
I am on my way
To become good people
Loving my life
Living with love
I am on my way, to become …
Everything I am meant to be
Precious
Beautiful
Wonderful
Honorable
I am a good kid
I love me
I love all I will be
Good people, I am meant to be
Good people, that's me
The end. Just write.
