i. 
you are not a waste of space.
learn that you are not and shine like the star you are. 
ii. 
go out more, meet new people, let the world 
see how you are. 
iii.
open up. 
do not let people shut you down. you are kind 
but you are not weak. 
iv. 
don't eat the tub of ice cream. 
you'll get belly aches from hell.

v. 
you are bright, they told you. 
a shining star in the night.
child of the moon. 
also, you're a little wildflower in the forest. 
vi. 
you will be able to live up to your dreams. 
work to achieve them.

a year ago, you and your ohana were living in a small
motel room for eight months and no money to do anything.
you are you now living in a home, with so much more space
and you are away from them. you don't have to hear the fights
going on but you're still scared of the screaming and yelling. crossing your fingers to get by. 
vii.
you're now in your room
with books scattered everywhere to get lost in. 
let's take a trip to hobbiton, shall we? or narnia, mayhaps?
make yourself a cuppa tea and relax on the bed whilst 
cuddling your favorite stitch stuffie and reading your favorite book. 
you enjoy corsetry and writing perfect little poems to tell
the world. you dream of fighting bad guys, make it possible. 
viii. 
take today as it is today. 
learn to be happier with the smaller things. 
ix.
you are beautiful. believe in yourself. 
no one is gonna do it for you. 
you love with all your heart and you 
fall so damn quickly. don't be so naive. 
yet, that is one thing that makes you, you. 
x.
you are a perfect poem. 
don't let anyone tell you otherwise .
