The first time I felt like I truly belonged

A time I wasn’t thinking of the ways it could go wrong

December of last year

Where there was a quiet inside all of the fear

Rain speckled windows and parks after dark

I let go of not reaching my schools benchmarks

Because I found happiness in people who really care

And that my worth isn’t defined by the straightness of my hair

But in the warmth of my heart, the glow of my smile

These are the things that make me worth while

It’s better late than never

But I truly hope this feeling lasts forever
