I Promise You

I promise you I care

This I know for sure.

I promise you I’m here

Just maybe not to stay.

I promise you I’m fine

Just in my own way.

I promise you I’m trying

I swear I always have been.

I promise you I’m hanging on

If by just a thread.

I promise you I’m sorry

For all the pain I’ve caused.

I promise you I’ll still be here

I’ll still be here tomorrow.

I promise you I’m fighting hard

Trying to win the war.

I promise you I know

How badly it would hurt.

I promise you I love you

That will never change.

I’m glad you connected to my writing. I wrote this when I was having a really bad time, which I’m still trying to get out of. I’m so glad my writing could help you! <3

Thanks, I wish you the best <3

Song Lyrics

The Snake and the Songbird

What’s wrong?
Said the snake to the songbird.
What’s wrong, little songbird?
Why don’t you sing me a song?

You see,
Said the songbird to the snake.
You see, I’m tired of running away.

Is This What It Feels Like?

Is this what it feels like?
To not be considered human?
To be some invalid,
Invisible thing
That almost nobody wants?
Is this what it feels like?
To be rejected and turned away?

I’ll Say It: I Hate Our President

I’ll say it: I hate our president
All my life, people have written me off as
“different”
“possessed” and
“antisocial”
And while yes
I am different
I am not possessed
I am disabled
