And for my final act of life
I will be loved
Accepted for who I am and the way I breathe
I won’t feel alone
I will feel appreciated
For my final act of love
I would spend it on people who hold it close
I won’t let someone cash it in for debt
For my final act of peace
I will spend days by the sand
With the grains in my toes
For my final act of time
I will learn to love myself
So the holes left in my heart by others won’t burn as much
For my final act of reason
I will recognise I cannot change what won’t allow
Instead I will take the time to change what I can
For my final act of sacrifice
I will sacrifice my need for love
Instead giving way to the ones who love me back
For my final act of grief
I will no longer grieve those who decide I don’t exist
For my final act of existence
I will be me
Without apology
Because for my final act of acceptance
I am me

Sit down you don’t talk unless spoken to
Who gave you the right to own your thoughts
Who do you think you are to be your own person
In this house they control the way you breathe
They say there different
From there parents
The way they were raised
But how are they different when I feel just as invisible as they did
How are they different when I have to be medicated so they can stand me
Are they really that different from the cage that consumed them
When now they hold the key
The light
My will to hold on
It all depends on if they like me today
And when they decide they don’t I feel it
They make sure of it
Skinny enough to be hated
Never skinny enough to be loved
Skinny enough to be a problem
Because I’m the problem child.
