if i could write a letter to that little girl i knew so long ago. my letter would be the longest epitome.
i would say it's okay to be heard, be yourself let them see.
it's okay to fall & get up in a hurry.
i would remind her it was okay to make the same mistakes repeatedly
but she was forced to grow up in a hurry without an apology.
i would tell her it was okay to say no and have an opinion
i would let her know it was normal to be frowned and looked down upon
and that she wasn't thee only one
and i would tell her that she could trust without being scared of being touch
maybe she will never be able to tell the tale
and maybe her past now makes her an adult who seems frail
but if you knew the story of this little girl
you'd never trust another soul in this world
and i often see her in the mirror sometimes
but there is no light within her, anymore, that shines
because they took that from her numerous times
and her bruises aren't seen clearly
because there engraved within her deeply
and even if the wounds heal she'll still feel alone
she'll never really ever feel completely whole
because she had to go through it all on her own
