I understand the struggles you’re going through
Feeling different and unique, not knowing what to do
Wanting acceptance and love, yet craving solitude
It’s okay to feel this way, your feelings are not crude
You don’t have to beg for love and affection
You deserve understanding without objection
It’s okay to feel lonely and seek companionship
But needing space is not a character slip
We all have moments of conflicting emotion
Yearning for connection and seeking devotion
Remember, being different is truly a gift
And those who understand will give your heart a lift
Embrace your uniqueness, let your light shine through
The ones who truly see you, will love all that is you
I don't know exactly how my son is handling living through what he did with me and our family dynamics. His father's family are strong people, so he may have a better chance than I did. I do however, see a lot of similarities, and from what I hear, he speaks and thinks a lot like I did. Especially with responding, "I don't know" to every question asked of him. What I do know, is that whatever emotion he is experiencing is valid. I know what it feels like to be raised in the environment; how lonely it can be, how miserable we feel inside, and how we long for connection that we can't explain. I just want him to know how sorry I am, how special he is, and that he deserves so much more than this world has given him.
