never been anyone's first choice
wouldn't be able to tell
never been anyone's first choice
used to be the ugly duckling
people thought I was pretty funny
then they see me walk and they feel pity
it's not cool to have a crush on the wheelchair kid
I got older
lost the wheelchair
but my confidence was shot
now I'm chasing every good feeling
making up lost time
can't fill the hole
might have found a good thing
need to be patient
but I've never been more scared
I might be healing
but it might be too late
I might have lost you
before I got you
can't blame you for seeing the red flags
should I be waiting
could we be dating
I wish you'd be more clear
but it's not cool to ask how someone feels
I think those are stupid rules
if you choose me
you have to tell me
I've never felt requited love

Validation Is Not An Outside Thing
Hey Baby, Can we start by taking a second to celebrate the fact that you are here today? Yes! For some of us, it’s a small victory on life that we get to claim every time we wake up. You and I both know we haven’t always wanted to be here. Choosing to stay is a victory. So, congratulations but also thank you! If you are anything like me at your age, I know you are rolling your eyes, right now. But give me a second. It’s a little sappy—I’m aware—but I believe that at every point in life, we all have something to contribute. It doesn’t have to be huge. It can be a simple word to a person who needs to hear it at that very moment. So there you go.
