Nobody ever told me
That people are allowed to feel empty sometimes
Nobody ever told me
That it is okay to feel sad
Nobody ever told me
That it is okay to talk about my feelings
Nobody ever told me
That it was okay to not belong
Nobody ever told me
That they would love me anyway
Nobody ever told me
That it was okay to be different
So I had to tell myself all these things
And I had to grow to believe them
