I am defeated, but that doesn't define me
I am alone but I am not lonely
I may be invisible but I see me
I may be ignored but I am still here
I reach up but no one is there to touch me
I jump down but there is no one there to catch me
I will make it on my own
I will not back away quietly into the dark
I am the lightning bug in the night sky
I am the sun at high noon
I will be ok
I will be ok
Even if I go unnoticed
Even if I fail at everything
Even if I don't connect
Even if I can't make a friend
I will keep my head held high
I will be my own friend
I am still important
I am still loved
I define me
I surprise me
I get up everyday
I dance
I sing
I write
I help
I don't lie down
I don't give up
Because I am awesome
Because I am amazing
Because I am me
I am Christie
And Christie, I will forever be
