IF ONLY THEY KNEW

--

"FAT"

She starved herself

day after day

thinking only if

she could lose those

extra pounds,

she would be as

beautiful as the others.

"WIMP"

No,

those scars no one sees

are from lost battles -- 

his father beat him

once again.

New bruises every

week doesn't

mean he is weak.

"JERK"

He messes around

with all of those

girl to feel something

-- anything --

because he's starting

to believe that love

no longer exists.

"USELESS"

Yeah, she agrees.

That's why those

cuts that mark

deep into her skin

are there.

She belives she is

a waste of time

...and space.

Maybe if they knew,

they wouldn't be so cruel.
