My Beautiful Sky
I know you can't hear me
But I want to tell you
What lies ahead for you
For us
People won't understand you
They'll label you as troublesome
They'll keep telling you to try harder
They'll make you angry
because they think it's funny
You'll twist yourself into a bizarre shape
Not you, not anyone
A perversion of what you think others want
Never quite what you want to be
You're going to get tricked and betrayed
Hurt and abused
You'll end up feeling so hopelessly alone
You're going to want to give up so many times
Before you finally see what you've been missing
You're going to find the person inside you
That you will love with all your heart
A person you will proudly show on your outside
every day, without reservation
It's going to take a lot of pain
A lot of loss, a lot of heartbreak
But one day, you'll know acceptance
You'll know belonging
You will hear your voice and love it
You will see the real you in the mirror
And finally be able to say
Without reservation or doubt
I love you
My Beautiful Sky
