To the little girl in the red and white dress

To the little girl dressed in red and white,

Where's your smile gone?

Why's your arm covered in bites?

You're always up by the crack of dawn.

You value academic validation

Way more than you value yourself

Do you really lack that much attention?

Just grab another book from the bookshelf.

It's not that hard to change your emotions

Wipe off those tears

No one wants to see an ocean.

You'll get over it in a year.

So you result to cutting your hair

Each time it gets shorter the more broken you are,

It's alright though just add a bit more flair,

No one will care.
