Universe Are You Listening?

Universe are you listening?

I wish I didn’t feel so scared

Help me get rid of these anxious feelings

So that I can better be prepared

Universe are you listening?

I’m tired of what people say

That I’m too quiet and too weird

It’s hard to even get through my day

Universe are you listening?

I wish that others could see

That it’s okay to be different

And that there are others like me

Universe are you listening?

Thank you for creating me

Despite my flaws and awkwardness

I’m genuinely happy to feel free
