Pain

Pain is temporary, trauma is forever. 

But I can persevere through whatever. 

Experiences can change you

People can mold you 

But never forget the real you inside of you.

People will wonder 

People will stare 

People will make assumptions off of what they think is fair. 

From the color of your skin

To the size of your body

Your sexual orientation belongs to nobody.

Labels 

And stickers 

Will cover up your shine.

But don’t you forget 

You where made to fly.

Opinions and judgement will put your mental state down 

But remember a smile is better than a frown.

People will wonder and people will stare. 

So give them a reason to stare. 

Be like your own museum 

Of memories 

Looks 

Thoughts 

And prayers. 

Live to the fullest 

And never let that down 

Please just remember a smile is better than a frown
