6th Grade

Do you know you’re not alone?
Even though it feels that way
You are smart and you are strong
And people you don’t know will like you someday
I know you have been afraid
Of being left out, on your own
I know you don’t know this right now
But in your heart you’ll find a home
And you don’t need them anyway
At those parties that they had
You were treated like a mascot
Frozen bra made you so sad
Late bloomers always get made fun of
Why did you care they kicked you out?
Called you a sweet girl as they betrayed you
Why do you still care little girl?
Those girls were never meant for you
Like they said they were
All those BFF necklaces and promises they made
They’d have said those things to anyone those days
6th grade’s kind of weird for everyone so dear, you’re not alone
I know it still hurts when you think of it
So it’s how you know you’ve grown
You rarely think of it
And 6th grade still is weird
They’ll hurt you and you’ll hurt them too
You didn’t mean to
But 6th grade is so weird
You’re changing and it hurts you
It hurts you
Growing up is weird
It’s painful and it hurts you
It hurts you
But you’re not alone
Cause growing up is weird for everyone you’ve ever known
You’ve ever known
You’re not alone.

Social Anxiety Song

Hello
Like you, I'm here
Feeling something like fear
In the air
Or in my skin
Maybe deep in my bones
Feeling kind of alone on this planet
Even though what I feel
Isn't rare at all
Cause we all feel fear
It's part of why we're here
We all feel shame
And blame things on others around us
But I've found that I am tired of the game
We keep playing
And now I just want new adventures
So I'm here
Like you
I'm here
With a little bit of fear
But mostly curiosity
About what could be
If I just come here
It feels like schmoozing and
It's kind of weird
Why we show up in places
that are new and scary
Anyway
So I'll take the time to say
I hope you like me and these tender songs
That go on and on
They're always a little too long
But that's cuz I make them up on the spot
Which is like being in public
And not knowing what to say
Which is like every single day we're alive
Alive
Alive right now
Alive
Cause even social anxiety can be existential
Alive
We're all really alive
Really really really alive
So let's be alive here
And breathe in that fear
****
