I'm missing so many assignments
I'm missing so much attention
I'm missing so many apologies
I'm missing so many notes
But my dad says "Don't cry."
Okay, dad.
I won't.
things did get better
you just had to believe in it

It’s not easy to believe in hope.

But hope is never meant to be easy.

You got this, brave little one. You have, and you will.

If I was supposed to
be defined by grades on
a paper, or by words in
a dictionary

I wouldn’t have
been born human.

If I was supposed to
be confined by margins
on an essay, or by stars
on a flag.

I wouldn’t have
the ability to create.

If I was supposed to
be defined by hatred
to my name or by my
disgraceful past.

I wouldn’t have
been born me.

She looked at him like he was the sun,
In that she never looked at him,
Except out of frustration.

She complained when he was gone,
But she never looked.

On days he was stronger, she hid from him
On days he was muted, she complained.

She never looked at him until he was leaving,
And in the beauty of the sunset she wondered how,
She'd never seen him before
Found this on Tumblr a while ago, felt I’d share it
