She wishes for different colored eyes,
"Blue's just overrated"
She wishes for thinner thighs,
Her legs leave her aggravated,

"My stomach is so gigantic"
She says while halfway frowning,
"My ****'s just too titanic"
In low self esteem she's drowning,

Compliments a'plenty,
I try to prove her wrong,
I love her more than any-
thing, that's why I wrote this song,

I say you're beautiful,
Everyday I make sure to,
But your mirror and your mind,
They're playing tricks on you,

You're so **** perfect,
Yet you live life without
Thinking you're worth it,
I admit, it freaks me out

When your insecurities,
Keep bad thoughts afloat,
But the cure to me,
Might be in this song I wrote

I say it's gonna be okay,
Everyday I make sure to,
But your mirror and your mind
Are playing tricks on you.
I walk the world with thoughts of you
In every place I go
Your voice is on the winter wind
Your footprints in the snow
And every tool I try to use to scrape you from my mind
Cuts your name onto my tongue
And beats me till I'm blind
I layed my head upon your knees and breathed the air you breathed
I cut myself when you were cut to know just how you bleed
Now as I walk this empty earth with nothing but a face
To breathe me and to bleed me
Until I leave this place

I will reach for your hand
When you need strength to continue.

I will hold you in a tight embrace
When your world feels at an end.

I will look into your eyes
When you feel like you are invisible.

I will wipe away your tears
When you have been crying on my shoulder.

I will lend an ear
When you need somebody to listen.

I will give a voice
When you can’t hear your own.

I will let you go
When your time for change arrives.

Do not think these acts are selfless,
I gain more than you could ever know.

Each hand I touch
Is a hand on my heart.

Each hug I give
Is a blanket in the cold.

Each eye I see
Is a portal to a new land.

Each tear I move
Is a reminder of where I’ve been.

Each story I hear
Is a chance to learn and grow.

Each phrase I speak
Is an opportunity for poetry.

Each person gone
Is a hand, a blanket, a portal, a reminder, a chance, an opportunity.

So no, I won’t ask for anything in return.
All I ask is for you to be happy.
All I ask is for you to find your place.

AH
don't touch me unless you mean it
don't mistake me for another pawn in your games
or a piece of trash you can throw away once you've tainted it
i'm a person
a person who wants your attention
your acceptance
your compassion

don't touch me unless you mean it
don't try to convince me with every caress and kiss that i'm a prize to be won
that I could be yours forever if I just placed my trust in you
then leave once you've received my love
my heart
my innocence

don't touch me unless you mean it
don't offer me your world
then take it away like it was a mistake to offer it in the first place
don't make me part of your game
along with all the other girls you've tossed aside
the other girls whose hearts you've stolen
you've mistreated
you've broken

— The End —
