A letter to the girls:
To the girl who
Stays home from school
Because she's too depressed
To get out of bed,
I love you.
To the girl who
Stands in front of the mirror
Unable to fight the tears as she
Criticizes every inch,
I love you.
To the girl who
Can't keep her dinner down
Because she only lost
Two pounds,
I love you.
To the girl who
Cries on the cold tile
Of her bathroom floor
Bloody razor in her hand,
I love you.
To the girl who
Wears a long sleeve shirt
In the middle of august
To hide all of her scars,
I love you.
To the girl who
Pops a handful of pills
Just to feel normal
For a while,
I love you.
To the girl who
Drowns her feelings
In a bottle of booze,
I love you.
To the girl who
Watches the one she loves
Fall in love with
Someone else,
I love you.
To the girl who
Has a mother that tells her
She isn't good enough,
I love you.
To the girl who
Locks her bedroom door
Whenever dad's been drinking,
I love you.
To the girl who
Won't go home tonight
Because her parents
Are always fighting,
I love you.
To the girl who
Feels hopeless and alone
Planing to take her life,
I love you.
And to you who read this letter, whoever you may be, wherever your life may take you, always remember, somebody out there loves you... (even if it's only me)
