Kind of Girl

Kind of Girl (Trigger Warning)

Here's to the girls who stay up until after midnight

Just to cry themselves to sleep for an hour before their alarm goes off,

Who wonder if they're worth anyone's time,

And who think that time is becoming too much for them.

I'm that kind of girl.

Here's to the girls who struggle to get out of bed every morning

Fearing the troubles and criticism they get everyday at school,

Who wear long sleeves and jeans in eighty degree weather,

And lost the shine in their eyes they once had.

I'm that kind of girl.

Here's to the girls who fake a smile everyday

When no one notices that they're dying inside,

Who flinch every time someone touches them,

And shy away from social events.

I'm that kind of girl

Here's to the girls who think about life in the shower,

Trying so hard not to cry,

Whose wrists, and thighs, and stomachs burn,

And know exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm that kind of girl

Here's to the girls who self harm, and have suicidal thoughts

Who think they're completely alone in life,

Who are afraid to ask for help,

And end up bottling it up instead.

I'm that kind of girl.

And here's to you;

You're NOT alone

You ARE worth it

You ARE beautiful

You WILL get through this

Please, DON'T ever give up
