I was just a teenager Not even fifteen Yet I was put in danger And I never wanted to be seen
People so shallow A puddle seems deep My confidence so low They can't let me weep
Posting a selfie seems illegal now All my comments flooded with hate My self esteem disappeared so soon, I don't even know how I didn't post it to get a rate
Apparently my nose is too flat My boobs and butt too 'Average' is considered fat A normal person lives up to no value
I never knew fat was taken as an insult When did people become so dumb? Thinking like children when they could be considered an adult Insulting not only you but your mum
Everything I say is criticized Everything I do is monitored All the while my confidence minimized And everything I ate, I vomited
Gaining weight is wrong Even if you're happy eating Losing weight takes too long When my mom keeps feeding
Everything is wrong about me My skin, my race, my religion My height, my weight, my sexuality Hate taking over like pollution
I had to listen to the music they liked I had to eat and drink the way they told I started to work out, every Saturday I hiked I started to buy collagen they sold
My clothes were too ugly I'm a girl and can't like girls Nobody was there to help me My mind was left in swirls
I thanked Instagram for letting me turn off my comments I deleted every other social media I had I felt peace without all of their demands But deep inside, I knew I was still sad
Until one day I posted a picture of myself Deciding enough is enough Comments asking me if I was twelve And doubting if I ever had love
"I don't care." I looked in the mirror And ignored everybody I felt slightly stronger Because I had control over my own body
One particular comment caught my eye It was by someone I never knew existed Her sweet words made me tear up and cry With every compliment she had listed
"Hey, I know you don't know me I don't, too But don't listen to them, they're the enemy They want to destroy you
"Do what you do You can love whoever Only you can state you are who Let it be funny, happy, or clever
"They're telling you to be someone else And that's the worst thing anyone can say For your best self is yourself I'd prefer that all day any day
"You don't need to work out Or not eat and drink Your sexuality is for you to figure out Don't ever let yourself shrink
"I know you posted selfies Why are they all deleted? I know every scar eventually heals Have they already faltered?
"This isn't who you are and you know it You're confident, beautiful and loving Not cowering away like a little wit Deleting every picture while crying
"Block off all the haters with your shiny crown Because you deserve to wear one, you queen Just because you're a girl doesn't mean you need to wear a gown You can wear suits and sneakers even if you don't have a peen
"You're a girl who can love whoever you want Liking your own gender is perfectly fine All these people who call you a cunt Are so absentminded, they can't think of an original line
"So here I am to tell you To go back to who you were before Everything I've said here is true You aren't ugly, fat or a whore
"Listen to me now, honey You're beautiful just the way you are now You really are, trust me I can say that in a wedding vow
"When I say that I love you You can believe it or not I'm not the boss, I don't control you Or your weight, or your thought
"So just be you because that's the best you can be Insane, fucked up, or whatever it is Explore yourself like a bird set free You are amazing, I promise."

HAZEL MAE
This is something I'm well aware of, I've experienced first-hand, and I know is happening everywhere, to almost everyone. Apparently 'society' only accepts skinny, I-can-see-your-ribs-when-you-inhale bodies for girls and if not, you get hate.
When people say "I get hate" or "I deal with haters", it seems less dangerous. In reality, you should say "I'm getting cyber-bullied" because cyber bullying is a real thing and can be considered a crime. Next time someone sends you a harmful, insulting comment that hurts your feelings, that person is a crime committer - a cyberbully. Cyberbullies will be taken care of by the police, yes, it's that serious.
These 'haters' are heartless and disgusting, don't even think of trying to be one. If you get cyber-bullied, it doesn't mean you need to cyberbully someone else. The second you get a negative comment, you report that shit and if they don't leave you alone, call the cops on them.
I'm here to take care of y'all, I'll always be here to see if you guys are doing okay. My inbox is always open for any of you to come and rant because I've been through hell, stayed, and back. I know what almost every situation where something can go wrong went wrong, so whatever you tell me, I most probably can relate. I'm not shitting you, I will always be here for you. Even if my account grows to thousands and thousands of readers and followers, I will never leave anyone behind because my supporters are my family (:
You are loved, you are wanted, you are worthy, you are appreciated. Smile today, it's the best look on you. Bye for now (:
