Dear Those Like Me, It Gets Better


Have you ever questioned yourself so much you don't even know who you are anymore?

Have you ever been so scared of not being understood you keep everything to yourself?

Have you ever hid so much of yourself from those who you love?

 

Do you know what it's like to feel something so strongly, yet be told it's all sorts of wrong?

Do you know what it's like to see nothing good in your future, no matter which path you take?

Do you know what it's like to deny yourself what everyone else seems to have?

 

Have you ever met someone who always knows what to say when you're full of worries?

Have you ever been so comfortable around someone you don't know how you ever felt differently?

Have you ever felt so safe being so vulnerable?

 

Do you know what it's like to have a kind of love that finally feels right?

Do you know what it's like to know you'll be alright, no matter what comes?

Do you know what it's like to be loved by someone as much as you love them?
