Small Changes

Ive noticed a change
A change in my behavior
I have been masking myself from everyone more often
Ive convinced everyone I am okay

Thats not the end of it
I am finding that I've been,
more loving
If that makes any sence

Its the simple things
Like:

"Good night, and sleep well, I'm proud of you"

"I love you"

"Stay safe"

"You mean alot to me"

I say those things
Only because I know it means alot
I know that not everyone has opportunities to hear those words

And even if that may seem like the only reason I do it
But I would never say it if I didn't mean it

Out of the blue I like to
I ask people if they want a hug
It brings me so much joy
Just to see their bright smiles as they accept my offer

Not everyone has that kind of access to love and affection

I flash people a simple smile in the hallways of my school
The smiles I get back are always stunning

I'll look you in the eye when you speak to me

Its the smile things that can just turn someone's day around

I want everyone to feel important
Everyone has a purpose
Everyone has their roll in life

And what I end up doing
With my own life
Will be my choice
I shall suffer the consequences

So if I end up dying at the ripe age of 15

Then at least I could make them smile one last time before I go.
