Hush now,

don't cry.

This pain,

it's only

temporary.

Don't let

those words

harm you.

Don't let

those words

define you.

Those things

they say

are not true.

They aren't

the you

that I know.

If only

they knew,

the you

that I know,

instead of

the one

they want

to know.

Then

everyone

would see

the true

you.
