I Know I Can Be

Your Going To Be Fine.i Promise You."- With My Finger I Made An X Sign On My Chest-"cross My Heart And Hope To Die,you Have My Word.you Don't Deserve To Live Like That,and We're Going To Turn Things Around.

Build On Past Successes, Be Grateful For What You Do Have, And Know That This, Too, Shall Pass. It's Only For The Now. Whatever We're Facing, It's Not Forever.

I Know I Can Be Very Standoffish . . .

Inside, My Soul Became So Cold I Hated Everything. I Even Despised The Sun, For I Knew I Would Never Be Able To Play In Its Warm Presence. I Cringed With Hate Whenever I Heard Other Children Laughing, As They Played Outside. My Stomach Coiled Whenever I Smelled Food That Was About To Be Served To Somebody Else, Knowing It Wasn't For Me.

I Just Don't Want To Forget This First Day Of The Rest Of My Life!
