When I turned eight, I wore a dress and a crown,
It was a sign to all that I had grown,
It reminds me of my grad cap and gown,
A sign that I’ve made plans to go on my own,

As those chant
Cheery Christmas songs
And spread love
The longs

you’re your own person,
love should make you feel good,
your friends should treat you with kindness,
you don’t need others validation, just your own,
it’s okay to be alone sometimes,
