For the girls

For the girls
Who have demons
Buried inside
For the girls 
Who are forgotten 
Left far behind
For the girls with a stutter
For the girls who are smart
For the girls who wear glasses
For the girls who are short
For the girls who cut their hair
For the girls who cut their wrists
For the girls who think they're ugly
For the girls never been kissed

Never forget
Never forgo
Never give up
Never let go




[i read somewhere]

I read somewhere
That little girls
Are god's gift to the world
But if that's true
Why does my catholic mom
And catholic dad
Tell me that I'm just not there yet
Why do my religious parents
Who pray everyday
Make me lie about my age
So I can join a weightloss club
Why does my dad 
Scorn my tears
And mock my shame
Why does my mom
Start with
"You're beautiful" 
But follow it with "but...."
Why am I told how to look
Not asked how I feel
To bad I didn't come with a return policy
